If I want to share a post with someone from another instance, it looks like I have 2 options:

  1. I can share how my instance links to the post, which is the little link symbol.

  2. Or I can click the federated symbol and that apparently shares a link from the poster's instance.

In both cases, whoever I share the link with is unable to view that post from their account if they're on another instance. Is there a way to alleviate this?

Why do we call them settlers and not invaders?

Religious nationalism is disgusting.

Only about 6 hours of campaign and it's a shell of what was demoed.

I'm not referring to the people who gamble once in a blue moon. I'm talking about those who gamble habitually.

How come they're all such garbage people, with legitimately no exceptions? Take a look at any high-stakes poker table and everyone except maybe the dealer is a de-facto scumbag.

On Reddit, some subreddits allowed users to add a title next to their name called 'flair.'

Is there anything like this on Lemmy?

Edit: After seeing the bandwagon, dogpiling reaction from the community for simply trying to donate, I wont bother donating to this project even if they support cryptocurrencies.

Good job, assholes.

Seems like the fediverse would be a good way for Chinese citizens to get around censorship.

Does anyone know if they are using it?

I want to be able to sleep in my next car, and not have it be a miserable experience.

Is there anything you can suggest to me that will suit someone who is 6'4" or 193 cm?

I'm not very familiar with cars, so anything that might seem obvious to you I could be overlooking.

I'm also not interested in style, at all. I only want functionality/reliability (I want it to work, bells and whistles don't matter) and low prices.

Good! Holy fucking shit is insane at the amount of predatory crap in software these days!

It's literally become a fucking science on how to manipulate people by wearing them the fuck down with pop-ups, sign-ups, notifications, and "related" content. Anything besides giving the user the opportunity to do what they fucking want to do in the first place.

Honestly, Lemmy is a breath of fresh air. It's also insane how straightforward and easy it is to use, especially considering the reputation the fediverse has for being "complicated."

Once upon a time, we could click an arrow in the address bar and see a list of our most visited sites.

How do we restore that functionality? Unlike the average modern internet user, I actually use more than just 5 sites pretty frequently.

Before "designers" were unleashed onto the world, we had the ability to scroll the list in the address bar so we rarely if ever have to type when it's a site we frequently visit.

Fast-forward to 10 years ago, and the hip/cool thing was apparently to remove as much functionality as possible if a certain competing browser did not support it.

I would like to move away from this "trend" of having to remember and type things out when in the past we had computers to do it for us.

In that effort, how can I restore the "old" (but better!) functionality of the firefox address bar? I don't need to see "recent searches," as I've legitimately never clicked on any of them. I just want the plain, simple, straightforward, functional dropdown menu back that our ancestors were able to use.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.

Only because it would hurt their bottom line.

Funny how we can only win when it's corporations fighting each other.

[-] john89@lemmy.ca 34 points 5 months ago

I totally agree. Corporate interests and rampant consumerism have ruined the majority of the internet.

Glad we still have refuges like lemmy though to take solace in. Proportionally we're a smaller part, but absolutely I'd say we're about the same or larger than in the 2000s.

If it's funded by taxes, it should be owned by the public.

Yep.

Fuck zionists and their disproportionate amount of control over the world.

What? Lunchables are expensive as hell and have practically no nutrition!

Sounds like someone's palms were being greased to get them in schools.

I don't understand.

It's okay to discriminate against men but not transgender women?
