Sorry, just realised you asked about linking to a post and not a community!

I actually can’t remember how that works on web, on the app Voyager that link works fine. Will check it out when I get on my laptop.

You can use the [email protected] syntax :)

You only need the one account, you don’t need to sign into other instances.

There can be some weirdness on the web version where if someone uses the wrong type of link then you maybe redirected away and can’t interact as you’re not logged in.

For example:

✅ [email protected]

❌ https://feddit.uk/c/casualuk

The admins have a long history of banning people across the entire instance who are critical of China, North Korea, Cuba etc. That said, you should be fine and if you’re happy with the instance then there’s no reason to move. Some users like to make a bigger deal out if it than it really is.

The “ml” in the domain is supposed to represent “Marxist Lennist” which the ideology the instance is aimed at.

Interesting, thanks!

In that scenario there would be one post with everyone commenting on it. What I think we’re saying here is that it would create a new post every time a mastodon user would “join t conversation” by tagging the community.

Yikes

So if there’s 50,000 users in a conversation and they all keep “tagging” the community instead of a hashtag, then that community would have thousands of new posts?

There’s a great podcast called “The Lazarus Heist” that goes into North Korea’s activities in stealing huge sums of money. Well worth a listen.

I really hope there’s better handling of Mastodon user comments on Lemmy, because all the comments tagging other users are an absolute mess. Are Mastodon users doing this on purpose or is their client tagging the users automatically?

If this were to become more common I’d probably just think about find out a way to block Mastodon users so I don’t see their comments.

It’s baffling to me. Maybe I’m just used to using “modern” frameworks, but the only way this could be an issue is if you literally check if the string value equals “null” and then replace it with a null value.

lastName = lastName.ToUpper() == "NULL" ? null : lastName;

Either that or the database has some bug where it’s converting a string value of “null” into a null.

It annoys me that they didn’t build this right by the train station. Instead it’s likely literally at the other end of town.

According to Google translate, “sopuli” in Finnish means “lemming”

He’s innocent until proven guilty. But there does seem to be a strong case that he did kill him.

What’s he smoking? Trump couldn’t start a useful dialogue with himself!

Too bad dickhead, Ukraine doesn’t accept Russian troops in Ukraine but here we are.

Just like how the soviets would have a “political” officer that would report everything back to the KGB to keep everyone in line.
