The point is that it redirects you to the post on your personal interest.
You can also paste that into the search of any lemmy instance to find it, if they mirrored it
It’s just a convenience service. Your original url is right there in the path if it were to go down, and it’s open source if you want to run your own.
There’s no other way currently to do it

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[META] Are paid for, closed source projects, being advertised on this community, appropriate?English
53·1 天前They should hang out a while first and not have only posts promoting their software, and not only have comments in those threads.
The lemmy attitude is very anti commercialization, and they don’t know any better. That doesn’t mean we should allow it.

187·1 天前I think new accounts that show up to shil their app should be banned. They’re not actively participating in the community, it’s just spam. There’s been a huge uptick recently.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Is there a dongle that can allow you to alternate output displays so I can have a computer hooked up to both its own monitor and the living room tv and switch between inputs as I wish?
0·1 天前Make sure they support the same resolution if you get a splitter, otherwise you want a hdmi switch
Where would one find this option? I can’t seem to see it
Edit: never mind, I got the code so I guess we’re good.

Thanks for sharing all the technical details!

You Should Know@lemmy.world•If you are coming from Reddit: YSK that Lemmy and Piefed have no karma. Don't delete your posts.
2·6 天前No, it’s not a per instance choice unless you go and edit the code. Deleting a post hides the whole thing but comments are still available via a user profile.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•What a brilliant scheme for raking in cash. Devote your life to politics and hold the highest office in the country then write a book about it. Have you heard of this?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else think Steam is going to close the hardware side of their business?
47·19 天前No, they’re not hurting for cash and everyone is dealing with crazy hardware pricing right now.





















Personally I’m fine with paid apps here, lots of people use tailscale for example. I think the larger issue is the drive-by spamming without contributing outside of their own promotion thread.
I like the comment elsewhere in this thread referencing a subreddit that requires X comments over Y days in the community first.
