Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.
I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don’t want to move.
I’m still kind of weirded out by some of the bugs and differences. For example, quite frequently, I’ll click a lemmy link, and for whatever reason it keeps taking me to some weird baseball game thread about the Padres or something. I don’t know why, like wtf, so random.
Probably because you’re pressing a link to a post of another instance, but it resolves to your instance instead.
Meaning that, you’ll be shown a post with the same ID on your own instance - where you should have been shown the post with the ID of another instance.
Either you’re using an app, and it hasn’t accounted for this yet - or the person who made the link didn’t format it correctly are my best guesses.
Probably because the Padres are on fire this season.
Also, I understand lemmy 0.18 replaced websockets with HTTP, which is supposed to be more reliable, but some instances have chosen not to upgrade yet because 0.18 also removed the built-in captcha. The fediverse and activitypub are really being put through a trial by fire right now, there’s gonna be some growing pains.
I really don’t care about baseball or who’s having a good season. I want to actually go to the link I click not the same baseball thread over and over. I understand there’s going to be bugs but the specific question was why some people don’t want to leave Reddit. Bugs aren’t a good look and scare people off.
I was having that same issue.
What is it taking you to that baseball thread specifically or to a different thread? Was it always the same?
For me it is frequent and random, but it always takes me to that one thread about the Padres.
That is exactly what’s happening to me too. It seems to be random. But I’ve started paying closer attention as I navigate around so I’m hoping to maybe identify any consistency and what would be causing it so I can report it.
