Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)I hate that you can't link to a Mastodon post without it taking you a different server. It's nuts that those links aren't swizzed on the sever. Always taking me to a different server that I'm not logged into is the Achilles heal of Mastodon. Non-tech users are completely confused by this. It's not their fault, it's Mastodon's fault. I know it's not easy to fix, but if Mastodon wanted to fix one thing keep new users, this is it.
Jef Poskanzer@grumpygamer I think Pinafore does fix it? Proof of concept that it wouldn't be that hard to fix?
cholling@jef @grumpygamer Writing code is easy. Convincing Gargron to put it in Mastodon is impossible. He seems to think that quote posts will bring on the apocalypse or something.
@cholling @grumpygamer Yeah but displaying a Mastodon URL as a quote toot is different from displaying a Mastodon URL on the local server.
