The second one is formatted as !jewelrydesign, not as [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]), at least when seen from Lemmy. When opening from jerboa it gives an error, and from the website it doesn't show as a link at all.
Edit: I checked from Kbin and it looks like it hid a part of my original comment for some reason. Maybe kbin handles community links differently. Here's what my first comment looks like from Lemmy.
For the links, I think the correct formatting is !community@instance which should work in lemmy, but I'm not sure about Kbin.
For example [email protected]
Also I love the icons you make. Very creative!
I know they said they'll federate with ActivityPub, but did they say they will allow you to move accounts to other instances? That seems extremely unlikely to happen
If you're just going to the link to visit it yourself, that's the proper link. If it wasn't a lemmy.ca link you wouldn't be able to interact with anything.
But when you're sharing communities, (like linking them in posts), you should use !community@instance (e.g. [email protected]).
This is done so anyone from any instance can go to the community and interact with it, instead of being sent to lemmy.ca where they won't be able to interact.
If you're linking to a community outside of Lemmy, what's usually done is to link to the instance the community's in (e.g. https://social.fossware.space/c/fossdroid)
You should be able to see the ! link for most communities under the title, and you can right click copy it to get the link to the community in its home instance.
Even if the "vast majority of people" don't know how to download an app (I doubt this is true), those people can't set up a phone either. So whoever's setting it up for them would download whatever app everyone uses to communicate.
Non tech literate people don't just use defaults. They use whatever's easiest for them to use. A lot of the time, that means defaults, but for messaging it means what everyone else is using.
Also messaging on apps is cheaper than sms in most countries, so even the least tech literate people can see the benefit of not using sms.
Everyone's counter goes up with each search regardless of impressions. It goes up even if you're using an adblocker. I think the tree counter is just based on the amount of searches you did, not the amount of money you make them.

Ecosia only gets money from ads if you click on a link, so if you quickly scroll past them all the time you might as well leave uBO on.
They also said you shouldn't just click on ads randomly, it won't help.
They say
What if I never click on ads?
That's fine, every additional user makes Ecosia more attractive to advertisers. The best way to support our mission is to use Ecosia like you would use any other search engine.
Don’t be concerned if you rarely click on ads, simply by being an Ecosia user you’re adding to the size of our user base and turning an everyday action into something positive. The more people collectively that use Ecosia means we have a wider reach and ultimately can plant more trees.
I didn't see that one! I'll need to check it out. Yeah, I'm glad the community is still going strong
Beehaw defederated lemmy.world.
If you go to any community on Beehaw viewed from lemmy.world, you can see that new content isn't available. Only posts & comments from lemmy.world users show up.
If you go to any community on lemmy.world viewed from Beehaw, you can see the same thing.
As soon as one defederates the other, all communication between them stops, afaik. The content isn't federated in either direction.
Edit: I might be somewhat wrong, since there are a few posts by users from other instances, but it's only a few, almost all posts and comments aren't available. I dont know what's going on here, disregard what I said.
iirc Google uses motion data to track if you're walking, biking, car, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook/Meta did the same.
Yep, the fourth link works now. I thought it would also work from kbin, but it seems to give an error. This is all too confusing... Thank you!
