There are a lot of add-ons and userscripts that reformat the links automatically, not sure if or when it's planned to be part of Lemmy.

It works if I search for it on my instance where I'm logged in.
Fails on both for me. I think you need to be logged in for it to pull it. And as you are from programming.dev
it works for you there. And since I'm from neither it fails on both.
I don't know the specifcs, but there are strict rules and requirements on how the data has to be stored if you process any of it, then there is complience issues with laws like GDPR and you have to be a registered entity as far as I know. It's just too much legal paperwork for most FOSS projects.
It goes to all mods on that community no matter what instance they are on.
Top comment made me smile
You are unlikely to find FOSS alternative that is not for cryptocurrencies as the regulations around credit card data processing makes it hard.
Since all posts/comments are public, all you need is some kind of indexer to organize them and a list of all the instances. There are people working on it right now. But in the meantime you can just add (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join lemmy")
to your search queries to search all Lemmy instances.
It doesn't need to replace Reddit. All it needs is a small active userbase which it got from the migration and just slowly grow into something new.
I had more interesting coversations in 2 weeks here than in 10 years on Reddit, so can't say I agree.
Mozilla followers are like a cult members. Mozilla has done a lot of good, but it's far from perfect, but some people just refuse to accept any negative comments about it.
Most sites post so much content of which majority is pure garbage so the bot posting whole feeds seems like a worse value than just following news communities that have more curated feed. But nonetheless good luck with the project.
@Notorious@lemm.ee could you please mark @linkbot@lemmy.link as a bot account in settings?
