Their last update to the home screen widget ruined the styling and usability of it. Made all the controls and notes take up a ton more space by turning them into big dumb child buttons, leaving way less room for actual content. I switched to Zoho notes.
Please don’t self-promote the same link across multiple communities at once. 🫤 Feels super spammy.
Sorry, I don’t agree. Telling people they need to “fix” something that is a universal standard everywhere else across the web is poor framing, and its explanation as to what issues it’s actually trying to address is pithy and unclear.
I have no issue with there being a better way to internally link to communities within lemmy; it’s essentially a lemmy-specific handles format for communities. But I don’t think this bot does a good job of communicating that, especially to new users who have every reasonable expectation that a link is a good way to point to any place on the web.
Thank you; much appreciated!
Thank you for the explanation, it’s much more helpful than the bot’s message.
In this case specifically, the point of the URLs in my post is to show how the difference in how the subscriber stat for a community is displayed when it’s viewed from instances other than your home instance.
If someone who already has a GitHub account wants to post this there, feel free. 🙂 It would be really weird if LJ were not also monitoring their own community the day after launch. 😕
Absolutely not. A URL is meant to be universal. If instances want to have some kind of custom shortcut format to linkify communities from just their name, that’s cool, but I should not be getting nag messages for using an actual URL as they’re meant to be used. There is nothing to “fix” in my post. Please fix your bot.
Zoho Notes has feature parity for everything I’ve seen, including letting you add collaborators to a notebook or note / list.
