The weekend, and the rain, has arrived.

What are we all up to? Mourning the lack of sun? Happy for the rain? Still playing Tears of the Kingdom with the curtains closed?

    To me, direct link means a link that will send me directly to the posts on their instance (i.e. a direct link to the Star Trek website will be https://startrek.website, not https://myinstance/c/startrek@startrek.website).

    Unless I’m somehow misunderstanding what direct link means here, which I might be? It seems more intuitive to me that the bang syntax would keep you inside your instance, not leave it.

    And yeah, using ! is known as bang when used in this sort of context!

      Oh right you were just disagreeing about terminology lol, fair enough. I just figured writing “direct link to where you can actually subscribe to avoid you having to do the whole copy paste palaver” was a bit of a mouthful 😆
