I Iike both slrpnk and blahaj but it’s not like their domain names are magically not also part of this alphabet soup they’re talking about.
It’s… kinda the point of federation and decentralization.
Sure, Reddit or Facebook have brand recognition, they’re also centralized corpo garbage.
If a blahaj user wants to share a SJW post, but finds the sjw domain untasteful, they can also just share their instance’s URL for said post.
lol I hadn’t seen the acronymized instance name. was the fact that it’s sjw intentional?
I was there all those years ago…
The owner had the domain itjust.works, and was in some large thread asking what subdomain they should use, and some genius said “sh”.
beautiful instance lore
Is it that many? I thought the server was younger than 2…
I started on lemmy.ml because I thought it was “the default one” to some extent. Learned that was a mistake pretty fast. Glad I found this one.
I think the same thing is why lemmy.world is as big as it is. “Well that must be the default one, it says lemmy and it’s for the whole world.”
It’s very inviting! Unless you want to say anything bad about anybody for any reason.
Can’t imagine that’ll come up.
Amazingly few users seem to realize this can be done.
I think most (especially mobile) clients simply don’t have this option and will always copy/share the “fedi link” - the url where the content is canonically hosted. all other URLs are simply cached representations of the original content.
Boost offers both pretty readily.
Thunder:
I think it’s just for comments?
I’ve been wanting the same for posts for some time now
It works for posts on the default UI
Thunder has it for posts and comments.
Ditto, i thought i was going nuts, but yeah its only for comments, not for sharing a post
The default Web UI as well, the link icon is using your instance, the fediverse icon gives the commenter/poster’s instance link
Honestly, that’s one of the things I like most about lemmy.
The web UI just works fine in a mobile browser. I was so used to garbage sites going out of their way to gimp the mobile experience (to push you into their app) that I had forgotten how pleasant it was to just use a browser for this.
Multiple tabs, ublock origin, bookmarks, etc.
I appreciate that there are apps available, but it’s nice not needing an app.
