I still don’t understand what it is or why is there…

It points to the lemmy instance the post has been published on. It is useful if you want to share a generic link to a post with someone and maybe don’t want to share the information on what instance you created your account on, because the other permalink button always references to the instance of your account.

Ohhh! So, if I’m understanding correctly, I can share that link to another… Instance? And it cuts me, the middleman, out of the link chain, kind of?
- loiakdsf ( @mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•2 years ago
Exactly!

Good to know! Thanks!

Lemmy is divided in all connected servers or instances, where they host their own communities. The button brings you to the webpage where the post is being hosted on, if its different from the server you are connected to.

At the start I thought it was the darkmode switch, weirdly prominent way to show that…
- Slated ( @Slated@vlemmy.net ) English5•2 years ago
It links to the original server that the user posted on. It can be very useful for navigating around the fediverse. However I will say I don’t use it all that much.
- Aurix ( @Aurix@lemmynsfw.com ) English4•2 years ago
It is a direct link to a specific comment.

This thing isnt on jeroba so I forgot it’s a thing lol.

Well, when you need it its extremely useful. Maybe if its moved under the three dots extras might be more user friendly
- NiHaDuncan ( @sethboy66@lemmy.world ) English1•2 years ago
Three dots doesn’t work for us on lemmy.world. 😅
- Kresten ( @kresten@feddit.dk ) English1•2 years ago
How come?
- NiHaDuncan ( @sethboy66@lemmy.world ) English3•2 years ago
I’m not sure, client.js has entries for displaying and interacting with the ‘more’ button; it just hasn’t been doing anything.
Oddly enough, I think it was just fixed for comments but still not on posts. Probably something in showMoreButton, though from what I see of it everything looks normal.

Works for me? iOS Safari.

I’m with you on this one, I feel like somethings should be more obvious than others, I think overtime people develop new apps and features that make the UI a lot more workable
- Moonrise2473 ( @Moonrise2473@feddit.it ) English6•2 years ago
What’s that? I see it on all posts
- kartonrealista ( @kartonrealista@lemmy.world ) English2•2 years ago
It opens a link to a post in its own instance. So for example
this is how your comments looks for me with this button. As you can see I’m not logged in, because it’s a different instance compared to what I use. This is what things look like when I click the chain icon to the left of it:
Here I’m logged in, because it’s your comment opened through my instance.
- Moonrise2473 ( @Moonrise2473@feddit.it ) English1•2 years ago
Nice
- puddy ( @Puddy@feddit.de ) English6•2 years ago
I get it, it’s such a nice and shiny icon it gotta do something good!

Is there a better way to get back to your feed when on an iPhone?
fun, it means different things in different context’s in different platforms. i see a fun set of discussions in the future.
Im using the docker build in the ansible playbook, so it jumps to the instance the post is on. Its vibrant so i think i just keep hitting it when i mean to hit the link.
- SSUPII ( @SSUPII@sopuli.xyz ) English1•2 years ago
If you are on browser you can just go back. Are you using an installed client?
- Dulce Maria ( @DulceMaria@lemmy.one ) English1•2 years ago
I’m using a homepage link to the webpage via Safari and on 16.5 I don’t have a back arrow available. Are there recommended iOS apps for Lemme?
- slin ( @slin@feddit.de ) English1•2 years ago
You can swipe to go back like in any app.
There is an iOS app in Beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc

Thanks! Using Mlem now and loving it.
