There’s really no reason to be mad at them in this particular instance. Their client is Chromium-based (Electron) so they will optimize their new features for that engine first. There’s probably less than 5% users who Discord from browser, let alone Firefox, and I think I’m being generous with that number. Additionally, some things are harder to implement (or even impossible) in native web rather than Electron, that has all the NodeJS integrations.
That’s Trisha, isn’t it?
Counter point:
Product (noun) - something that is made to be sold.
The software in question is not for sale, therefore is not a “product”, and this post is not an ad.
The first, link icon is just that, a link to the post/comment the way you currently see it on the site. It’s relative to the instance you have opened it on.
The second, fediverse icon is a little confusing to me, but it definitely isn’t doing what I need it to. In my experience, it shows the link to the post/comment on OP’s home instance if it’s not the same as the instance you’re browsing, even if they posted directly to this instance. My guess is that OP’s home instance must create the post first, to then send it to the foreign instance, so technically, posts exist on both instances.
Long story short, the fediverse icon is relative to the OP.
In conclusion, neither of those buttons will open the post relative to my home instance, with the exception of some coincidences.
I don’t know how it’s doing it (I might look at the code later), but the script works! In any post I can click a link in the titlebar to jump to home instance.
Thanks a lot!
This userscript claims to be able to rewrite post links, and I really want to try it, but… Perhaps because I’ve never used GitLab, I can’t find the dist file, the userscript itself. Am I supposed to build it manually? There aren’t any instructions for the installation or the build, for that matter.
This is not exactly what I’m looking for, but it was helpful, thanks!
That extension is for jumping to a community, not directly to a post. While this helps a little, you’d still need to find the post manually within the community.
Furthermore, there’s actually a point about this in the README:
Why can’t I jump to the same post on my home instance?
When you view the same post on different instances, the links may look like this: https://lemmy.ca/post/634937 vs. https://lemmy.world/post/79489. Currently, there doesn’t seem to be a way to determine what the post’s URL will be on your home instance. Due to this, there is no way to link to the post on your home instance.
So it looks like this is an unsolvable (and a serious, in my opinion) problem with Lemmy at the moment.
Solved using the userscript that @despotic_machine@lemmy.world further in the thread suggested.
On Connect, sub and up (which, I assume, was supposed to say sup) don’t get formatted.
I haven’t used soundboard yet, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t “just” an HTML5 file upload. Perhaps it’s as you said, they run checks on the file being uploaded. Maybe it will work, maybe it will crash in some use cases because they don’t have a polyfill for some specific API they use. So instead of dealing with user complaints about crashes they just disabled the feature.
I’m also not sure why you’re upset with Discord for implementing DRM for uploaded files. If they don’t, they will get sued by the companies enforcing that DRM, so hate on those companies instead.
