Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Why would you not post the headline, isn't that the whole point of this community?

Headline is 15 words as shown in the tagline.

Only in the standard Lemmy web ui it seems, not in any of the clients I just checked

The only reason the headline shows for you is because that's the link title and Lemmy's default UI automatically displays the link title. But that is not actually part of the post content, and so it does not federate. This also doesn't display if you aren't in the thread's page, e.g. the home page. The title you gave the actual post is not informative at all.

The post title was just my opinion of the content's meaning

Hmm, interesting. Could you explain the connection?
