i don like them links. like - tell me what’s in the link, don’t just “rule” and put a link.

i believe that this is not a very lemmy thing to do. especially on mobile, where it leaves the app and opens some shiddy proprietary other social media platform in your browser.

EDIT: completely forgot to add picture. now it’s here!

    Yeah, I find it annoying when the title sounds vaguely interesting and then there’s nothing there but a link. Give us a bit of discussion…if you found it worth linking, don’t you have something to say about it?

    Also people need to stop just copying the title of the article they link to. Those titles are always clickbait. Instead relabel it honestly for people here.

      Preach !

      It is also annoying when it happens in one of those questions like explaininglikeim5 or askscience etc.

      "What an interesting question with so many comments, let’s see what OP thinks of all the responses " and then they just disappear into the void.

      It was conjured from your thoughts, give us some follow-up from your brain.
