Getting the ball smacked down 1/2 second after the snap was ridiculous! C’mon!

I've been getting this error since public release. I've tried reinstalling the app a few times, but it persists.

Tried attaching a screenshot, but I get the error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

So here is an imgur instead

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?

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/[email protected] 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?
