Alternatively, here is the screenshot from the post.
I also wanted to share this tip for how you can find Lemmy posts:
- Search using
site:home_instance
. So if I wanted to find recommended phones, I could gosite:lemmy.ca recommended phones
. Because every instance has its own collection of posts, you will be getting all content on Lemmy (that is available from your home instance).
Question to everyone, what does Lemmy need to make it easier for people to find content? What are the implications of the Fediverse on how people might find content in the future?
One thing is that people are more likely to get posts from the larger instances, likely because more people are linking to them and opening those links? Another thought was the common complaint about how our post links aren’t community specific. While I can search for posts using the method above, I can’t search within a specific community like I can with Reddit (ex. I can’t search site:lemmy.ca/c/Vancouver recommended restaurants
Swag. The more we show up in search, the more people will be asking “what the heck is Lemmy?” Some of 'em will join.
Well then. Here. We. Go.
I have been regularly sharing shit with friends that I see in Lemmy, and they always said to me why my links always have weird domains and shit… so I proceed to explain and we get to nowhere.
Anyway this is people that weren’t even into Reddit, so that people are the harder to get, IMHO.
It really was silly of Lemmy to not have community specific links, it’s even more confusing that way. Now it’s just a bunch of
{weird-domain}/post/{number}
You never know what it is unless you have link previews
Yeah hopefully its possible to change that without breaking anything
That wouldn’t be the Lemmy experience, no hating here 😀
Sounds like a “them” problem, you keep doing what you’re doing. Maybe they’ll eventually get it, maybe not. Unless you give up sharing content with them entirely, of course, but that’s your choice.
