The number of political videos I see on !videos@lemmy.world is growing. And most of them get downvoted there anyway.

    Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !breadtube@lemmy.world

        Works on jerboa (& eternity), not your instance. The default web front end doesn’t support it, and it’s not in the specification, so it’s good to have the bot

          Hm, the bot said it would depend on the instance. Weird.

            No, it said your link won’t work well for people on other instances (because it links to your instance). Doing it properly means I can view it on my instance without having to switch.

              But lemmy.world is not even my instance, and it’s working fine for me, so far. Both the full URI and the !-mention do the same thing for me.

                Can you understand that I am not you and I don’t have your experience? The link goes to lemmy.world and I am on moist.catsweat.

                It only works for you because you’re using Jerboa. I’m using a browser.

                  Can you understand that I am not theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world? The link goes to lemmy.world and I am on ttrpg.network.

                  It works because I’m using Jerboa. It also works in a browser, I just tested it.

                    I don’t know what to tell you other than what I already have, that the link does not work for me. There’s a specification for a reason: interoperability. Fuck that though, it works for you!
