Not the News
Maybe I'll start a community. "NotNews"
Do it please. I want to laugh a little.
Done. Come make me laugh too. https://lemmy.world/c/notnews
Gotta link it with the exclamation point for people on other instances !notnews@lemmy.world
Thanks. I’ma ding dong
Why is it programmed that way?
I assume it's because different instances are on different domains, so a naive link won't take you to your instance if it's some other one. Like on on ttrpg.network and you're on lemmy.world. for me the link points to https://ttrpg.network/c/notnews@lemmy.world
You could try to parse the link and figure out if it's a Lemmy destination and replace it with your instance, but how would you know? That sounds error prone.
You could have a special syntax for linking to other instances, but that's what the exclamation point thing is.
You could maybe have each lemmy server check if you're signed in somewhere else and redirect you, but that also seems error prone. What if you're signed into two different ones?
I don't work on Lemmy so this is guesswork.
I'm going to sub my way out of mental illness
You can’t spell mental illness without me
Or "lenient smalls".
Darn, I have to wait for fedia.io to federate. The community can't be found 😢
Edit: just took a while, it work now! !notnews@lemmy.world
