It did the same thing for me in LibreWolf, but worked in Falkon.

“Are you a pole vaulter?” “No, I am a German, but how did you know my name was Walter?”

I post a lot and don’t usually get hateful insults, in fact most of what I post gets no comments at all.
The way I find most things I post is literally just that I repost them from my Mastodon feed.
- Comment on How will Australia's ban on youth access to social media affect instances hosted in Australia? 1 week ago:
This is a complex issue and both of the comments above are way oversimplifying it…
Lots of governments around the world are nowadays claiming that their laws apply to all or many websites that can be accessed in their borders. Whether they can enforce this if the website has no physical assets in the country is a very different question. They could arrest their operators when they enter their countries (as happened to Pavel Durov), or they could geoblock websites, or… here are some starting points for further research:

- Comment on Russian children flood Kremlin with complaints after Roblox ban 1 week ago:
Roskomnadzor said in its notice that Roblox contains “inappropriate content that can negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children.”
I say in my notice that Roskomnadzor can negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children.
- Comment on EU 1 week ago:
Assuming “EU” means “European Union” (the acronym can stand for other things too): if you don’t put “Europe” or “European Union” in the title or sidebar, no one who searches for these things is ever going to find this community.
also there is already !EuropeanUnion@europe.pub

It seems that you understand what the term “metaverse” was even supposed to mean; care to enlighten the rest of us?
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 2 weeks ago:
I remember reading that Loops (? - may be wrong about which one) does the same thing, only displaying statuses with videos in them. I have not, so far, seen anyone claim that that is a bad thing, and frankly don’t agree that it is. If we can’t do that, then we can never have specialized platforms built on ActivityPub, e.g. platforms only for videos or for photos, etc., and that would severely limit what we can do with it.
- Comment on How My 6-Year Old Almost Became a Copyright Pirate Overnight 2 weeks ago:
Why are we giving exposure to someone whose job it is to enforce restrictive copyright laws and who uses the term “intellectual property”?
- Comment on Games you played inside video games. 2 weeks ago:
In GTA 5, get on a train, get a wanted level, try to keep the wanted level for an entire round-trip around the map, then try to escape the wanted level, all while staying on the train and surviving.
(it’s been a few years since I tried this and don’t remember if those were the exact rules, but they were something like this)

- Comment on Is there a way to mirror corporate social media to the Fediverse? 4 weeks ago:
That’s what lemmit.online is for reddit to Lemmy, sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/ for Twitter and apparently also Instagram.
One problem with this is copyright; if it’s OC images or text posts, it could infringe on the original poster’s copyright. Not a problem if it’s merely sharing links.
- Comment on Question: why mastodon hastag timeline shows posts from lemmy community of same name? 4 weeks ago:
No, this is false as far as I can tell. I am willing to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable but my understanding is:
Communities are implemented not as hashtags, but as special users who “boost” everything addressed to them. That is why Lemmy sometimes gets posts made on Mastodon that mention a Lemmy community. It doesn’t always look great: discuss.tchncs.de/post/45785836
So communities and hashtags aren’t the same thing. In particular, communities have moderators who can remove things or ban people. Hashtags don’t.
It is a feature of Lemmy that all new posts (not, AFAIK, comments) also get the community name added as a hashtag. This is what OP was seeing and serves to somewhat increase the reach of Lemmy posts. But you can’t follow microblog hashtags on Lemmy.

- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think there’s much difference. Any standard USB gamepad should work equally fine. I find the Xbox layout more comfortable than the PlayStation one, but this may be different for different people.

everything is fucking videos now
did you know that the more inappropriate the place you put the word “fucking” in is, the more seriously people will take your comments? :D
