is it just me, or do Lemmy link posts suck in the Mastodon interface?

Why do I need to click a link to go to the Lemmy instance to click the link they are posting?

Why is the link not clickable directly? Is this just to drive traffic to the Lemmy instance? Whats the point here?

That feeling when you want to block hf.space on your server but you realize that the way domain blocks are implemented in Smithereen, you can only block a server that has known actors, not an entire domain with all its subdomains... Time for new #Smithereen features I guess.

Does the mastodon autodelete function delete statuses with featured tags?

also ehrlich Mastodon - ich mag nicht nur nach Amerika, Asien, Japan und Afrika reisen. Es gibt mindestens noch Australien als Kontinent und warum als Reiseziel nicht Europa!!!!!!

Wollen wir mit Mastodon in Europa bleiben?

🌎 🌍 🌏 sogar Japan hat es geschafft 🗾

I really appreciate all the new goodies the @MastodonEngineering developers are implementing. But it's really a shame that this anti-harassment feature request is still not ready: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8565. For a lot of people this is the number one feature that is left. Fresh profile pages and collections (starting packs) are nice to have, but this is mandatorily to have.
