i don like them links. like - tell me what’s in the link, don’t just “rule” and put a link.

i believe that this is not a very lemmy thing to do. especially on mobile, where it leaves the app and opens some shiddy proprietary other social media platform in your browser.

EDIT: completely forgot to add picture. now it’s here!

      that’s the original purpose of Reddit, someone posts a link to something they found interesting after they have “read it” :)

      The way i would explain it is, that this platforms purpose is to provide a comment section for the articles and screenshots posted here. Voting is a secondary feature that allows it to be used for entertainment/news purposes by making high quality, important or funny posts more visible.
