That was it, thank you!

Same issue. Tried reinstalling the app, but it didn’t help. Not on lemmy.world

Fucking low velocity!? You think Cuno doesn’t know what you’re talkin’ bout? Velocity was FUCKING MAX!

Oooh that makes sense. I was thinking more along the lines of an ACH transfer, or paypal or venmo or something like that.

I’m all for bitcoin, but how are you making a bank rich by transferring money to someone?

Does this increase your costs to the point where you would like some donations?

Just testing: Like this?

Edit: Looks like /c/main is really all you need for the link, the @domain suffix isn’t necessary if the post is on the domain my account is on.

Maybe it’s relative to the user? To me, my link above points to https://midwest.social/c/main Is it the same for you?

Well, we’re still here. Which means it was successful?

Interesting. That completely changes my idea of how all this works…

It must still exist on other instances until a sync happens.

Apologies, I didn’t realize someone had replied to my comment before I deleted it. I figured starting my own post was better than trying to hijack someone else’s similar post. (Again, that link won’t work for you - I’ve been told if you enter that URL into your instances search bar, it will translate it)

I agree with you though, this is the biggest problem I’ve seen that will lead to adoption issues. Not really a lemmy issue though, more of a Fediverse/ActivityPub issue.

Links to other instances always say I’m logged out (which, technically, I am) that makes the link useless.

For example, I am logged in at my home instance of https://midwest.social If I click a link to go to https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support it takes me to that community, but I am not logged in (to lemmy.ml) so I am unable to meaningfully interact with it. I have to manually edit each lemmy URL that I go to in the URL bar in order for me to go to that community with my lemmy account.

So I need to manually change https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support into https://midwest.social/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and I have to do this each time I click a link to another instance if I want to post there.

I’ve been a system administrator for 20 years, and this took me a few minutes to figure out. “Casual” users are just going to be SOL since they aren’t going to be analyzing editing URLs to make them work. I feel like the only want to fix this is to have a browser addon intercept any lemmy URLs and modify them to work based on your home instance.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how it is?

That’s because the app isn’t available yet. Not sure why its being advertised on Lemmy’s main site. The developer has made it available only through github

Has the influx of new members exacerbated this issue? I found this thread because I’m seeing a few ‘504 Gateway Timeout’ errors occasionally.

These are all very different technologies that serve different purposes. I don’t think they compare well at all to each other.

Hello! I do IT for the government. Currently in STL (not technically midwest, depending on who you ask) but I grew up in Michigan. I came here due to the news that Reddit will be soon charging 3rd party apps exorbitant and unsustainable (which is probably their goal) prices. Also on Mastodon: https://hachyderm.io/@Arindrew
