A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

The ol' switcheroo on lemmy would be a great way to teach people how to do inter-instance links! I don't think it's possible right now to link specific threads or comments, but it would definitely be a fun way to show how federation works.

Damn, that's a genius idea - I've seen people linking specific posts, at least, so I'm pretty sure it's possible - let's see if this works

The hard part is that while you can have relative links to communities (/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml) it doesn't work for individual posts, threads, or comments.

I assume it's a difficult problem because those would have different ids in different instances?
