Kinda slightly sensationalist title but yep...
We are having a good discussion about this in AskLemmy: https://lemmy.nz/post/3983363
"What is the legal difference between owning digital and physical media?"
As a side note, how are we going with instance agnostic post IDs? I can only post a link that uses my home instance, but obviously most of you won't be on lemmy.nz and will have to do some fuckery to open that in your home instance if you want to be able to comment.
Fortunately Sync just redirects to a link on my home instance. I know I saw a GH issue on what you mentioned but I haven't checked it in a couple of months.
Edit: found it. Still in discussion phase. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987
Ah thanks, we're still waiting.
Reminds me I should check in on the merged communities process. Federation at the community level instead of/also at the instance level would be awesome.
Tapping it works fine on my app, redirected to the post on my instance 👌 although I believe the situation is still pretty awkward for desktop frontends, they need to put the link into the Search box to open it on their instance AFAIK
There are two proposals (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987), one for a syntax specific to comments which would make your link the following:
#[email protected] (it might already work in some frontends, but it most likely won't yet)
and the second is using standard web technologies to register handlers for lemmy and then linking to posts like so (using my instance as an example):
which would take you to the search page where your instance will show you the post on your own instance.
I personally think the best way is something in between, or rather implementing both
I prefer the simplicity of the first option but it's good to see progress
Thank you for contributing to the discourse.
The majority of comments in this community are at the level of a 12-year-old, offering no insight whatsoever, with snarky remarks like, "doesn't affect me, arr," "just sail the high seas," with even the title appending "piracy is justified." That's terrific for all those commenters, but I had hoped that the comment section here in a technology community on Lemmy would be more sophisticated than my high school class.
