Yep, the fourth link works now. I thought it would also work from kbin, but it seems to give an error. This is all too confusing... Thank you!

The second one is formatted as !jewelrydesign, not as [!jewelrydesign@kbin.social](/c/jewelrydesign@kbin.social), at least when seen from Lemmy. When opening from jerboa it gives an error, and from the website it doesn't show as a link at all.

Picture showing the content, with the ! links not highlighted to show they aren't shown as links

Edit: I checked from Kbin and it looks like it hid a part of my original comment for some reason. Maybe kbin handles community links differently. Here's what my first comment looks like from Lemmy.

For the links, I think the correct formatting is ! community@instance which should work in lemmy, but I'm not sure about Kbin. // For example jewelrydesign@kbin.social // Also love the icons you make. Very creative!

I know they said they'll federate with ActivityPub, but did they say they will allow you to move accounts to other instances? That seems extremely unlikely to happen

https://ecosia.helpscoutdocs.com/article/33-how-does-ecosia-make-money

Ecosia only gets money from ads if you click on a link, so if you quickly scroll past them all the time you might as well leave uBO on.

They also said you shouldn't just click on ads randomly, it won't help.

They say

What if I never click on ads?

That's fine, every additional user makes Ecosia more attractive to advertisers. The best way to support our mission is to use Ecosia like you would use any other search engine.

Don’t be concerned if you rarely click on ads, simply by being an Ecosia user you’re adding to the size of our user base and turning an everyday action into something positive. The more people collectively that use Ecosia means we have a wider reach and ultimately can plant more trees.

iirc Google uses motion data to track if you're walking, biking, car, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook/Meta did the same.

From what I understand, if we defederate from them, they can't see our posts either. See what happened when Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works .

They could still be see the content by creating another instance, or by getting it from lemmy.ca directly. I doubt they'll do that though, especially with Lemmy. Lemmy communities look weird when seen from mastodon, and I doubt they'd look much better from threads.net.

Also I hate how they called it Threads. That's already a word used for other things in this space. Theres a thing called the threadiverse, and it doesn't include Facebook/meta/instagram threads?

You can also use ddg.gg which is even shorter!

And you don't even need to go the ~~website~~ homepage, just type something like ddg.gg/search promt and it'll give you results straight away.

This is great even if you use a different search engine because you can use !bangs without needing to go through another webpage.

It's not only a kbin thing. Votes from Lemmy are still not anonymous. You can see who downvoted and upvoted any post from kbin, even if the voters were on Lemmy.

Even if kbin was to hide this information, it would still be sent from instance to instance. It'd be harder to see, but still accessible.

(From what I understand anyways)

I read through some of that link and the problem doesn't seem likely to be fixed anytime soon. But I didnt read it fully because it didn't look like it was going anywhere.

I disagree, they definitely don't want their own mini Lemmy. They want a safe space they are happy with, and defederation the only way they can do that with Lemmy's current mod tools.

Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works make up about 20% of the acitve users in the threadiverse (source). That is a lot, and it sucks, but it's far off from making beehaw an isolated instance.

Imo for now new users should be discouraged from joining Beehaw, lemmy.world, and sh.itjust.works, since all the content can be seen from other instances anyways.

The post is duplicated, one with an image, one without an image.

Something happened to me in another community, where I made a post, but I made a mistake and deleted it immediately after posting. This caused the post to be deleted from my instance, but it was still visible from other instances. I'm guessing it's a bug with Lemmy. Since the post was deleted from my instance, I couldn't find it to delete it again.

The same thing probably happened with this post, because if you go to lemmy.nz this post doesn't exist there - try copying the permalink and going to it.
