To make the link work,
Had to do all that to make the link work. 🤦
Yeah this looks like a pain point at the moment. I'm going with "I'm a newb to lemmy's way of linking" by default as I'm sure I'm just doin it wrong. If not, hopefully that can be made more seamless, or the knowledge of how to do it the right way can spread far enough that it becomes a non-issue.
It's taken me awhile to figure out stuff. I'm still confused about certain things as well.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I'm still a newb but I've managed to learn a lot the last week or so
Thanks! I did have a question about comments.
When I view an external post from my home instance, it has less comments than the source. Does it eventually catch up? How long does that take usually?
Here's screenshots of what I'm talking about. My home instance is monero.town and the post has 39 comment. When I click the rainbow fedilink icon that takes me to the source instance at beehaw it has 70 comments.
Will my home instance eventually show 70 comments as well? It's a 2 day old article. How long does it take?
I feel like I'm missing out if I don't go to the original source every time. But if I go the original source, I won't be able to comment or upvote because I'll be on their instance instead of my home instance.
Just looked into it and actually both servers are counting the wrong number of comments lmao. They both have 34 in that thread, and are the exact same comments. Definitely a bug.
@phloatingman Yeah I think something's broken or mis-coded perhaps. Looking at things, I think the exclamation point needs to be removed from the final URL to work.
(IE: [https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]](https://kbin.social/m/[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])) -> https://kbin.social/m/[email protected])
I think I might use Redirector to correct it internally in the interim
