Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It was revived in 2017. I think that's all that needs to be said on the matter.

If you like this kind of content, there are loads of YouTube channels doing these kinds of 'experiments' they tend to be more specialised, but that's a good thing and they often interact with each other to share expertise.

I was going to ask about some of those channels, but decided to make a post on askLemmy

Gotta throw Nile Red in there for chemistry.

Also I'm not sure what the right answer is but there should be a better format for your link so people can access it from their instance. Maybe someone who knows can chime in. Kbin always edits the display of proper links so I'm not sure the exact format.

Yea post links on Lemmy are unfortunately really hard to deal with. There are discussions on how to fix it

The current workarounds seem to be

  • use an app or browser extension to handle the link for you
  • link the instance and tell people to look for the post
  • use a third party service to generate instance agnostic links

I use the first option for myself (Boost on mobile, InstanceAssistant on Desktop), but we really need a better solution

Yeah. Probably one of the larger items that makes going between instances a pain in the ass. Once they all have decent apps it'll probably be better but still. Maybe even if they could have it ask "Hey you clicked this link. Do you want to go there-there or here-there?"
