That's just how Mastodon tags work, they get turned into HTML <a> tag with the href pointing to the local instance's view of that tag. Lemmy then turns that HTML into markdown, hence all the links to poster's instance.

He bought the company to bolster his lawsuits against Apple and Google, only to fob it off to Songtradr a few years later in the middle of the staff unionising. Songtradr then sacked half the staff (coincidentally all the ones who were part of the union) and still refuse to recognise the union to this day.

/api/v3/user is for fetching info about any user, it requires either a person_id or username to be given as a URL param to work, e.g. https://feddit.uk/api/v3/user?person_id=28426 will get my profile. There currently isn't a way to get just the person_view from the JWT, though API v4 will have an /account endpoint that you'll be able to GET with the auth header. Most apps GET the /site endpoint and use my_user returned from that.

He's 100% right. (Still a douche for what he did to Bandcamp though)

"As a result of [the latter], several of these 'councillors' are illegitimate and new elections must be held. Reform stands for the highest standards in public life, and those who commit fraud will always be expelled."

Do these 'high standards in public life' include using donor cash to influence foreign elections, collecting user data without consent and inciting pogroms?

accusing Starmer of harming her reputation and contributing to her losing her South West Norfolk seat in the general election.

I too hate it when I'm faced with the consequences of my actions.

How bout you go back and let your friends know that if they’re in need of a good editor, try Vim ;)

If my friends wanted a good editor, then I wouldn't recommend a Vimitor, I'd recommend ed, the standard text EDitor :p

If Vim is so good, then why can't you browse Lemmy from it?

This meme was made by the Emacs gang.

[Lemmy has] no mechanism for a community owner to communicate a challenge to post to his community, so impossible to prevent spam.

Hey mods, you can do the funniest thing right now:

Why is Spacemacs listed separately to Emacs when it's just a fancy Emacs' config?

His party's 'charter' is such a joke. A national Bitcoin reserve, blockchain direct democracy, getting rid of 'LGBTQ+ propaganda' from schools so 'classrooms will no longer be battlegrounds for ideological warfare', but best of all is:

Replace modern “art” with statues and monuments honouring British heroes.

While the charter is full of AI 'art'. Suppose it's hard to pay for real artists when all your assets are being seized on account of being a sex trafficker.
