Is it a bug, or defined behavior for a reason I just don’t quite grok yet?
I’m a typescript vet, and if I really stick to lemmy I can see myself trying to help out a bit… but I also get about 4 hours of sleep a night, so it won’t be soon ;)
I have no idea. I’m currently trying to learn typescript to turn a link like this into this dynamically based on the base URL you’re seeing the page from. I’m lost and don’t know where to start.
I think it’s defined behavior because the idea (sort of from mastodon I guess???) is that there’s the local instance and it’s communities, and then the federated world. Presumably some people want to ?maybe? stay close to home? It’s def a techie way of thinking, like having your own internal wiki, and then knowing about wikipedia say.
It made sense to me because I already worked it out for mastodon, but otherwise I can see how that’s confusing.
Hmm… Weird. I kinda figured the “Local/Subscriptions/All” toggle would be what defined if I’m checking Federated, and not the “Community/Comments/Posts/All” toggle. I understand the “URL” option if I want to search for a URL. I guess maybe it treats a federated community as a URL even if it’s typed as a community?
I’m on Mastadon as well, and for some reason never tripped up on this. But I’m not sure I’ve sought out any remote communities in Mastadon like that.

EDIT: WHAT?!?!? THAT WORKS ALREADY?

EDIT 2: MUST PUT PSA IN LEMMY NOW
lol! What format are you using? The reddit-like link format? That’s standard markdown I think.
