    Yes. Grab the home instance URL of a post or comment you want to reply to, and pop that into search on your instance.

    The server should go fetch that thing in the same way it does new communities, and pop it up as a result and let you open it and then interact with it.

      Thank you, that worked!

      I was trying it again trying to find and join a different/c, but apparently this trick only works with the URLs of posts, not the URLs of /c’s

        I should work with communities, too. And user accounts.

        Communities might take a really long time tho before the result shows up, as they can take minutes to bring over.

    The movie was excellent. Miles above the Sci Fi channel version. Atmospheres above David Lynch.

      I haven’t watched the SciFi Channel version yet. It does get recommended a lot.

      Lynch’s Dune has a lot going for it: The visual design of the ships, and flapters, and in particular the Navigators Guild guys, how much he emphasized the preciousness of water on Arrakis, the assassin probe scene is great, and then there’s that Mentat mantra.

      It is goofy in many respects though: The Alia subplot doesn’t work at all, the part of the battle where the space royals are sitting on their periscopes firing weapons, Gurney Halleck is pointless, Sting was awful as Feyd, Chani is useless (which is true to the books IIRC)

        It did have one hell of a large budget so it definitely did visuals way better than sci Fi channel but it cut down this massive story into just over 2 hours so an unacceptable amount of cuts were made just to fit the cliff notes into a film.
