Not sure if my question will be seen by anyone since this "weekly thread" is three weeks old, but I don't see anywhere else to ask, so: Why does it seem making a post anywhere on Piefed, even right here in this community, requires a link/url?
I could understand if it was just in communities for posting about news, but not here. Can someone explain?

The default post type appears to be “link”, but you can change it to “discussion”.

Thanks, didn't realize that was a selection thing! ... now I'm actually not sure if I should make my other question its own post, or just ask that here, too, though

Since this is PieFed, I guess it could use some posts' flair like help has. Definitely "Solved" one but then there could be a few categories for marking what one has problem with, named from newcomers' perspective

  • app - phone clients
  • page - webUI
  • posts - cross-posting, federation
  • etc

Good point, I'll create them later

Nice! We're you hoping to eventually have the other new user communities redirected to here?

I could redirect !newtopiefed@piefed.ca over since that one is still very new and small
