Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Hold finger on link, read link from context menu.

Nope, doesn't show the whole thing.

Maybe that works on iPhones and different android flavors tho

That's unfortunate. FWIW I don't disagree with you, full plaintext links should be posted anywhere. It's not like there are any psychopaths out there typing links manually instead of copy/pasting.

Then blame your app, not the person linking state.gov materials

I use voyager on iOS, it allows me to see the url of links before I click them

It’s available on android

What's hard about just posting the link?

And I don't use apps to use a website on my phone, unless you count browsers as apps

Markdown is an accepted and implemented form of posting content on lemmy. That’s why I can do this or do this or do this but you don’t see the html. The platform shouldn’t cater to you because your app is incapable of showing you the links people post in markdown format, find a better app, or petition your app developer to handle links better

Why are you still ranting about apps?

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok so file an issue with lemmy, https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues, stop blaming software because you are mad that html has a feature to put links on text and it disrupts your workflow to see what those links are

lol you are, you are just hiding it behind “please do for me what my software doesn’t”

Cool troll though

I legitimately don't know what you're on about.

Did you mean to reply to someone else this entire time?
