When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Lemmy: the fedi links are still local links. Pain in the ass to get the original link. (slrpnk.net)

I often need to link to another post, often my own. Naturally I find the cached version of the post on the host I am logged into. But that link is not sensible for sharing. The corresponding URL on the host of the community is universally reachable by all federated participants.

So how do I get that link? It should be the fedi icon.. but no, that’s shit. I have to navigate to the original host, find the community, then browse or search for the post there. It’s such a shitty design.

The fedi icon links to the host that generated the link, so for any post you make it will be slrpnk.net

I realise that doesn't help.
