What I don’t understand about this whole situation: why does it matter where commits originate from if you’re dealing with an open source project? Does the Linux kernel not peer review code? Can’t security researchers from around the world comb over the source code for vulnerabilities/malware? Or is this all just political theatrics?

Shopping cart theory also seems relevant to this.

If I know anyone who drives one, I always refer to it jokingly as their 'emotional support vehicle".

Not sure if related, but my wife once told me it was hot watching me put my arm behind her passenger seat, look back and reverse out of a car space.

Now I need to know… are reverse cameras also for girls and gays?

Yeah, though long tap is already used for toggling the action bar for comments, so you’d end up with a similar issue of using to interact with small links and getting the wrong result sometimes. So probably a user setting to turn the small links on/off entirely would be safest.

I think I’m on Lemmy for the long haul - I like the fediverse decentralisation. The hardest part of Reddit to abandon will be the search results on Google, but perhaps we’ll see something similar with Lemmy in a few years if it picks up steam.

Just submitted a PR to fix this, thanks for the suggestion: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/549

Fairly sure this is fixed, but might not be rolled out yet.

We’ll likely add an option soon to turn off small links (like inline user names and community names) so you won’t be taken to the user’s profile in the first place if you accidentally tap it.

Try a long tap on the comment body. If that doesn’t work, try a tap or long tap on the comment header. It’s possible there’s a few bugs with some of the new comment interactions.

Thanks! Can’t believe I missed that. Also, I didn’t know we had an aussie Lemmie server, sweet.

This would be lovely. Then once that functionality was working, we could create a Reddit-style front-page for new accounts that subscribed to a bunch of popular hashtags. That would really help to ease onboarding and make instances feel a bit less isolated.

Ah good point - I think we’ll need to add that. I’ll make a Github issue now so it doesn’t get lost.

If you select View source on the post you should be able to?

Cool, I didn’t know we could embed images in posts and they’d show up inline. I wonder how long that will last, haha.
