I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.
Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.
theres a little bit of movement starting on !newcommunities@lemmy.world I don’t know how to make a link that automatically sends you to your specific instances /c/newcommunities@lemmy.world so that you can subscribe immediately, just cut and paste the name.
Oh that would be great to have. Manually copying things in the URL bar is less than ideal.
apparently if I just link like this Link it does it properly. so why isnt that the default link type then?
I guess if the linked community isn’t yet federated with your instance it would just 404… teething problems!
Yeah that link just crashes Jerboa unfortunately. =)
