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.

Disclaimer: I'm a noooooob.

I am logged in to lemmy.world.

I have a feed (Beehaw Local) which I open in a new tab about Reddit affecting Google. with the beehaw.org URL (so I'm not logged in or registered) posted by someone at lemmy.world.

If I follow the @ lemmy.world link, I'm still inside Beehaw, same goes for the Technology link.

My confusion is that I can't see how to open and interact with that post without making a separate Beehaw account.

Why am I so stupid on this platform?

I think you need to search for it on lemmy.world and then subscribe and post from there. I’ve had luck copying the urls and pasting them into the lemmy.world search.

you're not stupid, it's just that the federated aspect of it combined with technical problems (things not being completely in sync) makes everything a bit confusing

edit: btw, I think the easiest way to link to another community is simply with /c/community@server, so /c/[email protected] for example. Sadly these aren't converted into links automatically yet, but if you do that manually like this, it should work on all instances: /c/[email protected]

Known issue! These are growing pains for the software

If you're subscribed to that community, it should be at the URL https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] for you (if you aren't subscribed yet you should be able to do so from that link). Then when you open the post from there it should be at the lemmy.world URL (https://lemmy.world/post/113642) and you should still be logged in.

Ah, when I do that, I see 'Subscribe Pending' :(

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure that’s just a cosmetic issue on Lemmy 0.17.3. BeeHaw is updating to 0.17.4 in about 4 hours, which may resolve that. Either way, if you see that, you should be subscribed!

I seem to have 'Subscription Pending' on quite a few instances. It does seem to be server dependent. I'm not sure how it effects anything yet. I'm still quite new to this and learning as I go along.

Some of the popular servers are probably struggling right now, so it might have just needed a do-over.

I'm still figuring out this stuff too though so who knows!

You can't. If you are on beehaw you need a beehaw account to respond.

But why do you need to be on beehaw? Is the community you want to look at not available to lemmy.world?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well there's the rub. I added the RSS a day or two ago, I saw that post. The post is from a lemmy.world account on Beehaw - I think it should be trivial to open it and interact.

If I look at the similar Lemmy feed, I don't see it - and I can't find it in a search - it's kind of 'walled off' to me.

Beehaw and Lemmy.World don't have the same headers.
