  • Okay I learned a few things, though they may be specific to Memmy.

    1. The /c/community@instance works, and opens the links in the app, rather than browser
    2. If you have text in front of your link, it doesn’t work. Might be a Memmy issue.
    3. I need to test, but I think #2 is responsible for the Null errors I’ve been getting when text is hyperlinked.

    Text testing #3 - confirmed, this returns the Null error.

    Now without prior text

    test - this also didn’t work

    test! - using a link beginning with ! Also didn’t work. Hmm.

    To expand on the idea:

    Ideally this would incentivize devs who are hesitant about the cost of hosting to spin up a server, bringing us more instance options and helping to further decentralize the platform.

    Right now fedi relies on donations, and it seems to be working, but at some point the growth could outpace the donations leading to large instances shutting down. Rewards on Reddit are dumb as shit cause they feed an amoral corporation, but on Lemmy they would directly support those who are lending their time, money, and expertise to the growth of the fediverse.
