What’s the general temperature on this acquisition?

ABK has been a dumpster fire for a decade, but it seems like a worryingly large move for the gaming scene in general.

Okay I learned a few things, though they may be specific to Memmy.

1. The /c/community@instance works, and opens the links in the app, rather than browser
2. If you have text in front of your link, it doesn’t work. Might be a Memmy issue.
3. I need to test, but I think #2 is responsible for the Null errors I’ve been getting when text is hyperlinked.

Text testing #3 - confirmed, this returns the Null error.

Now without prior text

test - this also didn’t work

test! - using a link beginning with ! Also didn’t work. Hmm.

Those opened in the in app browser on Memmy. Testing here

/c/amateur_radio@lemmy.radio

Thanks for the explainer! Doing some testing cause your example didn’t hyperlink on Memmy

c/tech@pawb.social /c/tech@pawb.social !c/tech@pawb.social !tech@pawb.social test text /c/tech@pawb.social /c/Lemmy@lemmy.ml

Weird. Not sure when your example didn’t link, because it did in my comment ¯\(ツ)/¯

Edit: I’m back on browser. Everything that hyperlinked works properly. It’s a Memmy issue

Do you mind giving a short explainer of proper link formatting? I was struggling with this just a little bit ago

Unfortunately I’m still a Lemmy noob so I’m not familiar with link formatting to remain in-instance. Hopefully that’s something that gets automated under the hood in the coming weeks!

Updated the link. Working now?

It started here

Shit just works, yo.

Yeah what does a Saudi prince want to do with a social platform run by a ‘free speech absolutist’? Especially to the tune of $2 billion dollars?

I’m sure is just a big coincidence that the site is turning into a fascist-sympathizing shithole

I’m not saying he’s tanking Twatter on purpose… but what would he do differently if he was?

Thanks for the post. I’ve bought some coffees for the Lemmy.world admin and Memmy dev, but didn’t think to track down the Lemmy dev. Signed up for the Patreon!

Upvoting because that’s a great explanation, that’s a great term that I will wear proudly (MLZ), you used a triple contraction. I love contractions

Another great bastion of reddit content has been felled.

Another reason for redditors to leave and join Lemmy.

I don’t have a coding background but this was very informative. Thanks for sharing
