- hi spujb
  
  hi kate
- Hmm, that type of link doesn't work on Jerboa. :(
  
  a normal Lemmy post link? Phew I'm remembering why I ditched Jerboa
  
  don’t use jerboa i guess
the last panel really nails it. They may be decent but damn was that a bad decision.
What happened? .world is one of the 'bad guy' instances now?
- Some communities are choosing to go to world kinda recently.
  
  Personally kinda a nothing burger to me but its strange to move when the community which is solidified on one instance. Its fine to have multiple communities in multiple places...
  
  World is the most vanilla of the servers in my experience.
  
  Wait so all this drama is because. world has become too popular?
  
  Yeah, I don't get it. I'm on world by happenstance but I like it when communities are federated.
- Oh, we're so, so bad. 😈
- more like “bad overcrowded space”
  
  none of the admins are malicious outright but they are ill equipped to administer to such a volume of userspace
- It’s not that .world is bad per-se, it’s just that the idea behind lemmy is to spread things out across multiple federated instances, and everyone is essentially piling up there
- I never liked .world due to how toxic their discord admins acted towards my suggestion of a matrix Server, only to then make a matrix Server a few weeks later.
i agree but can we not use ableist memes for this please
- i hear your concern, let me know if you can think of an alternative template i will put some thought in as well
  
  Maybe something like this:
  
  iirc there are many templates that follow the "something good, something better, something bad" format
  
  the one i can think of right now is this one:
  
  The one with the blue new age brain pics
- This is so fucking dumb that people are being offended by this. Someone please help me understand why I think like this.
I’m a bit out of the loop, what does the ! Do/represent in front of a community?
- In most Lemmy clients, the ! makes it a link, e.g. !196@lemmy.world. You can also do something similar with users, e.g. @aeiou_ckr@lemmy.world. Note that these links stay on your native instance (e.g. if I linked to !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone it'd still open in lemmy.world for you), but Voyager's autocomplete makes a normal link (e.g. !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone) that is not instance-independent.
  
  Thank you.
