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!

    It depends, i think the problem is when it’s just a link and nothing else to engage with, i’m very unlikely to bother opening a new tab just to see what the fuck a post is about.

    If however there’s a relevant thumbnail and embed or manually copied text, then i can get the gist without leaving the front page.
