I would like to think this is what social media was originally intended for.

This is exactly what social media was for.
shakes cane
I 'MEMBER WHEN YOUR FACEBOOKS AND MYSPACES WERE FOR GOSSIP, CHAIN MESSAGES, STUPID JOKES AND ODDITIES. NOT LIKE TODAY'S SOCIAL MEDIAS THAT ARE TRUMP THIS, BIDEN THAT, VANCE SUCKED OFF A COUCH. THEY'RE TOO MANIPULATED AND SERIOUS.
Yes, I remember.
I remember when Godwin shamed us all into not yelling at Nazis on the Internet and now look what we got!
Bunch of fucking Nazis IRL!

Oh my, I'm flattered
WHAT THE FUCK I WANT AN IR CAMERA
They are available at many retail outlets, though not cheap if you want decent quality. I got a UNI-T brand one and have been fairly pleased with it, though I think Flir is more common.

I also have a coworker who recommends a thermal monocular for longer ranges, though I can't particularly comment on that. He uses his to watch animals on his property. I've heard they're commonly used for hunting.
no giant red blur that's supposed to be a dong coming out of the bottom of the screen
Wasted opportunity
Link to redirect to original thread on your instance: https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.sdf.org/comment/17767141
Why? Why not just link directly to the post?
Is there a lemmy app for android that doesn't open Lemmy urls in a browser, and just opens the link in the app?
Voyager
Instance redirection link is what gets opened in browser. Other one is fine
This worked, thanks.
That's still on lemmy.world, and it's not resolved to whatever is somone's instance, e.g. mine is lemm.ee. Some apps can handle this automatically, like voyager, but the default webui won't redirect to your instence.
Independent link to the post would be: https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/25401816
Nice! Never heard of lemmyverse. Now I kinda want a firefox extension for that!
I use Voyager and it took me out of the app, opened a browser, and read a wall of text and then waited 5 seconds for redirecting… there has to be a better way just to share a link…
It seems that (most?) apps have this feature integrated, where clicking on the direct link takes you there while still being interactive from your instance, but on desktop there's no automatic redirect. Currently using the exclamation point format works for linking to comms on different instances (eg [email protected] ), but there's no way to directly link a thread like that without using a 3rd party redirect like the lemmyverse.link site posted above.
Lol, on Voyager the lemmyverse links are not working
Nor on Eternity.
Thunder opens it in the browser.
Yeah, we should open an issue for this.
On Android app settings you can enable voyager to open links from your instance in the app, after you set this up it works.
Oh god, now I hope you didn't read my comment !
I have you tagged as Mister Balls now
