Swag. The more we show up in search, the more people will be asking "what the heck is Lemmy?" Some of 'em will join.
Well then. Here. We. Go.
I have been regularly sharing shit with friends that I see in Lemmy, and they always said to me why my links always have weird names and domains and shit... so I proceed to explain and we get to nowhere.
Anyway this is people that weren't even into Reddit, so that people are the harder to get, IMHO.
It really was silly of Lemmy to not have community specific links, it's even more confusing that way. Now it's just a bunch of
{weird-domain}/post/{number}
You never know what it is unless you have link previews
Yeah hopefully its possible to change that without breaking anything
That wouldn't be the Lemmy experience, no hating here 😀
Thanks!
I’ve had success describing it as “imagine you owned the server your Facebook info was stored on but could still interact with all other Facebook servers”. It’s a little simplified, but it usually gets the point across.
Guys... I finally understood the Fediverse! I made a Threads account!!!! /s
Sounds like a "them" problem, you keep doing what you're doing. Maybe they'll eventually get it, maybe not. Unless you give up sharing content with them entirely, of course, but that's your choice.
Swag, brah.
