Someone suggesting starting a Lemmy instance

To view a link on your own instance, paste it into your instance's search.
Example with a link to a similar discussion: https://lemmy.ca/post/38173834 (paste that URL into your Lemmy's search, like this)
(edit: I've been told that Lemmy is a bit smarter than I thought when doing those searches)
Make sure you use the original link of the post and not your local version.
Use this icon on a post to copy the original link of it: 
The original url will be the same domain name as the poster's instance. For example your post is: https://lemmy.ca/post/38173834
And my comment is: https://programming.dev/comment/14642812
To view such a link on your own instance, paste it into your instance's search, like this.
This feature request would make it easier: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048
Also: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2318
Give those Github feature requests thumbs up reactions so the devs know to prioritize them.
Seems like this also improves the situation and might be launching with v0.20 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5057
the way hashtags work? Mastodon has the same issue
oh yea that was crazy, poor kid
The problem with hashtags is that the post itself won't be federated unless someone is following the user who made the post (or someone who boosted it). So Lemmy would be unable to see those posts anyways.
I have thought about a simple ActivityPub service that pulls a Mastodon RSS feed of a hashtag and boosts them all from a group/community actor, I think that would work for following from Lemmy.
I'm still enjoying Daima overall, I just hope they resume the Super anime soon after
the difference is the level of control
X and Facebook are closed source, so you can't review them and they could be hiding stuff in their code or just do things people don't like and we can't revert
they also control the servers and don't let you self host, so they can make bad admin decisions and there's nothing we can do
and they also horde the content so you can't get it from somewhere else, which means you can't just leave and use a different platform (not easily at least)
over here if you don't like the devs then you don't need to donate to them, you don't need to use their instance, or we can fork their code, or even use an alternative (like Mbin vs Lemmy)
Oh this is not the Undying game (2001?) I thought it would be lol
