Since big part of the web is drowning in AI junk, including Reddit, is there a good search engine to find answers in the fediverse?

      That’s not a lemmy.world link

      When you hit reply to a comment from the web client, there are several editor buttons you can press, like ‘B’ for bold font, ‘I’ for italic, etc. The farthest to the right is a circle with a ‘?’ mark in it. The link I supplied is the same as pressing that button.

      So if you don’t trust the link I gave you, go to https://lemmy.world/ in your web browser, and hit the reply button for any comment, and then press the circle with a ‘?’ inside of the circle button, and you’ll be taken to the same page as “https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html”.

        Right, so it’s a Lemmy thing, not a Lemmy world thing,

            I feel like you’re missing the point. Maybe I wasn’t clear. Yes, Lemmy World does use it, however it’s a feature of Lemmy itself, not just of Lemmy World. Lemmy World is just one instance of Lemmy and they all use the same markup.

            My point is calling it the Lemmy.World markup is inaccurate and potentially misleading. Lemmy is more than just Lemmy.World.

              I understand, but also, I was speaking directly to the link that exists in the Lemmy.World’s web-based editor, I have no access to any other web-based or otherwise editors from other servers.

              If the Lemmy.World web-based editor is maintained by the Lemmy devs themselves, then it is a Lemmy editor, agreed.

              I’m not aware either way though if it is/not, and I’ve been arguing with people that take any slight ambiguity from me as ammo to attack me with, so I was being very specific, based on my own personal use-case and the specific server URL of the link I was speaking of.

                I’m sorry if I made you feel that way. For the future anything hosted at join-lemmy.org would be part of the Lemmy software itself.
