What is the difference between kbin.socia/m/… and kbin.socia/d/… ?

      @MxM111 so this is what I was talking about earlier. what you’ve linked is the kbin.social website showing the community named “lemmy” that’s hosted on lemmy.ml. it’s what reddit calls a “self post” ie text content that doesn’t link anywhere. here on kbin, when we look at that post, the “linked page” is to another kbin.social page. hence why the info in brackets is showing kbin.social (as that’s the website you will visit upon clicking on that “link”).

      the bracketed info shows the url the link points to. and this url also gets pulled into the /d/ page.

      so the post you shared will show up in:

      /d/kbin.social (because the page linked is another kbin.social page)

      /d/lemmy.ml (because it’s a post in the lemmy@lemmy.ml community)

        @Otome-chan@kbin.social So, there is some kind of mechanism that kbin uses to copy threads from other fedeverse servers such as lemmy.ml. If it is a self-post, that is the post without link, then what I see its copy on /d/kbin.social as a copy of original post from lemmy.ml. If, howerver, the original post on lemmy.ml was a link to some other site, for example to google.com, then I would not see this on /d/kbin.social, but on /d/lemmy.ml and /d/google.com. But in this case, what would I see in the brackets? (lemmy.ml) or (google.com)?

          @MxM111 not quite.

          If it is a self-post, that is the post without link, then what I see its copy on /d/kbin.social as a copy of original post from lemmy.ml

          this is always the case. however the “linked url” will say the same website you’re on if it’s a “self post”. since self-posts (regardless of which community they’re in) link to another kbin page, they get shown in /d/kbin.social

          If, howerver, the original post on lemmy.ml was a link to some other site, for example to google.com, then I would not see this on /d/kbin.social, but on /d/lemmy.ml and /d/google.com

          /d/lemmy.ml will show the earlier case as well (since it was in a lemmy.ml community). but yes /d/google.com would also show it I think since the linked url is google.

          But in this case, what would I see in the brackets? (lemmy.ml) or (google.com)?

          The brackets show where you go if you click the link. for self posts, you go to the thread here on kbin (if you’re using kbin.social). for links, you go to the link.
