I thought it was “things a programmer says to a client (while rolling their eyes) after the client gives nonsensical feedback.”

Ah, but postage stamps are completely fungible.

I was thinking of the HTTP verb, you’re right.

You forgot the third group, !fuckcars@lemmy.world

Some even have sinks in each stall so you can go from wiping your ass straight to washing your hands

See, I emphatically do not want that.

If I could rely on everyone else washing their hands properly it would be great. But I don’t want to have to touch the stall door that has Aleppo been touched by people who haven’t washed their hands after I’ve washed mine. I want the hand washing to be the very last thing I do before exiting, preferably via a push door that I can push with my foot or in a spot that fewer other people would push it.

Why would someone on a help desk be expected to know what POST is? A software engineer, sure, but helpdesk? If it’s needed knowledge…that’s what training is for. Businesses’ expectation that people will come into the job already knowing exactly how you do things and never require on-the-job training is absurd.

The pinging would be done by the back end, not the UI, so no, I don’t believe it would ping them.

It leads to their profile on your own instance.

In addition to what Blaze said, there’s a much more public desire to leave Instagram because of how publicly awful Facebook and Zuckerberg are. Spez is not really any better, but outside of our bubble people don’t really see that as much—party because he has so much less money to push his ideas outside of Reddit.

And it’s just fortuitous that unlike Twitter, Instagram doesn’t have any real competition that isn’t using Activity Pub.

The /u/ formatting works exactly the same as the @ formatting, except for different platforms. Right now, /u/ creates a link that goes to their profile on lemmy-ui (the default web interface). But @ creates a link on Jerboa (the first-party app) and Sync (a third-party app).

In Sync, when you see your comment, does it create a link you can click to go to murd0x’s profile? If so, nice! Sync is doing the right thing in this context. I know already that Jerboa, the app from the main Lemmy devs, does this correctly.

But lemmy-ui, the interface you’ll see on most instances if you open it up in your web browser, that is not clickable, but the /u/username is clickable. It’s an obvious bug/shortcoming in lemmy-ui.

*couldn’t’ve

I think that upgrades your autism to audhd.

Wait, I just realised that what I posted…isn’t an actual image. It ends in .svg, but it isn’t an svg file. This is, and it has no brackets:

To test how URL escaping works, here’s a different (non-image) link with brackets in it.

I had not. I had no idea that even existed, thanks!

Do they have a Lemmy community for feedback? It’s super buggy right now unfortunately, with “a” taking me to the post on the poster’s instance, instead of upvoting (or at least taking me to the post on my instance…), and with all keyboard shortcuts handling alternative keyboard layouts in what I would consider to be the wrong way (though this is possibly debatable/up to preference).

Yeah a lot of former Reddit apps that switched to Lemmy did a really lazy job of it and haven’t implemented all of the Lemmy text parsing syntax properly. Spoilers are one of the most common issues, but so are _subscript (including ~multiple word subscript~) and ^superscript (and ^multiple words of it^).

If your app doesn’t parse text correctly 2 years later, it may be time to consider switching.

New users should be able to join a “default instance” that is federated with all instances so people can window shop for the instance they prefer.

Almost by definition, any default instance is likely to get defederated by some other instances, if that default grows too large. Being default means it’s more likely to attract more people of all sorts. And some of those won’t get along with the federation policies of some stricter instances.

Personally when I want to share something to multiple communities, I deliberately space out the posts in time. It has the slight downside of potentially showing up for a person repeatedly for days, but I think this is outweighed by the upside of them not seeing the same post multiple times within a few minutes, which is really annoying. And it has the added advantage of being more likely to be seen by people who weren’t online at the right time to see it the first time.

Personally I only have alts on other instances because you can’t create Communities on instances other than your home one, and my home instance was not an appropriate one for the Communities I wanted to create.

I think I’ve uploaded images bigger than that, before.

What exactly is it you’re asking for, though? A change in user behaviour towards consolidation? Some new feature of the platform similar to multi-reddits? How exactly do you suggest that should work?
