They aren’t behind any login or anything stopping it. So yah, I expect they’re already are being indexed.

Mortonksalt linked to instructions.

They say you should be able to put the linked URI into your instance search and pull up the local version of the same post. That isn’t super clean, but it should work.

There isn’t a way to do exactly what you want.

Since you typically do this with your partner, the easiest solution would be for you both to be on the same instance. Then the gray chain link would work fine.

For other random people, use the colored federation star link. That goes to the home instance of the post.

Edit: as per mortonksalt
Another option is to paste the link to another instance into the search on yours. That should bring up the local instance version of the same post.

I pay for:

• eMail, Cloud storage, VPN (Proton)
• Search (Kagi)
• Anything that takes away advertisements if I do. I loathe ads.

Let me put it another way.

When you want to bookmark the link, or open annother tab to view the thread yourself, you want use the grey chain link.

When you want to share a link publicly, or give it to some random you don’t know, the colored network link is probably more appropriate.

The grey chain icon, goes to the post or comment address on your instance.

The colored federation icon, goes to the home instance address of the community the post or comment is part of.

I get it. If I was looking at that seating chart, I’d be thinking:
“Screw it. If I have to sit in the front, I’m going to sit in The front.”

They don’t need to take over all of them. A dozen or two of the largest subs would be plenty. Those with less than a couple hundred thousand subscribers, don’t really matter much.

This doesn’t make sense.

How is blocking different than a stronger form of mute? I don’t know what he’s talking about. I’m not sure he knows what he’s talking about.

Here’s the documentation.

When browsing the frontpage or a community, you can choose between the following sort types for posts:

• Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
• Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published
• New: Shows most recent posts first
• Old: Shows oldest posts first
• Most Comments: Shows posts with highest number of comments first
• New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they receive a new reply analogous to the sorting of traditional forums
• Top Day: Highest scoring posts during the last 24 hours
• Top Week: Highest scoring posts during the last 7 days
• Top Month: Highest scoring posts during the last 30 days
• Top Year: Highest scoring posts during the last 12 months
• Top All Time: Highest scoring posts during all time

Yah. I’m wondering what exactly is shadowbanning in this context? And how do they know.

I hate adds. I was using Neeva. Just switched to Kagi. After nearly 3 weeks, it looks like 300 searches/month will work for me. So $5 a month is fine.

Interesting. I’ve know of it as the pound symbol, but have never actually seen it used as such. I never put the two together.

Why does this matter? I’m not aware of any meaning # has, outside of sheet music.

That would be up to the admin of your host instance. Hypothetically they can ban you for any, or even no reason. There’s no software or rules preventing it.

So I would suggest making an account on the instance you want to post these photos to.

Can you link for the rest of us?
