I think it doesn’t work. I skimmed Lemmy source code (search scrape_text_for_mentions if you’re interested) and found this issue so I’m almost sure the mention in the post body doesn’t work, but haven’t tested, so I used the word may. Sorry for your confusion.

FYI username mention in a post body (not in a comment) may not work.

Thanks for writing the summary for the current image-proxying related issues. I prefer the “proxying images route” for better privacy, but its drawbacks sounds worse.

If Lemmy has a user-customizable setting like “Don’t load external media automatically” (including images, videos, etc.), I’m happy with the “passing through external images” route.

Yes, fenced code block with specifying langauge may work as a workaround.

```text
systemctl --user cat emacs
```

but I said “inline” explicitly.

lemmy-ui: Highlighting some words blindly in inline code is really annoying. For example,

• systemctl --user cat emacs
• pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect

Since it’s a MediaWiki page you can get Markdown source of the page with appending action=raw query to the URL.

Maybe some rules in nginx.conf has been delegated to nginx-internal.conf.

I suspect your instance was used to backup the original communities.

You shouldn’t post the auth value here - it works like a username and password.

If you’re familar with Python, can you try this script? (please replace the string a and b with your input and the answer)

$ python

>>> a = 'はい、　コンビニです。'
>>> print('\n'.join(f'{hex(ord(c))}, {unicodedata.name(c)}' for c in a))

Our software is built on the reasonable assumption that third party servers cannot be trusted. For example, we cache and reprocess images and videos for you to view, so that the originating server cannot get your IP address, browser name, or time of access.

I hope Lemmy also implements the image/media caching in the not so distant future. Currently, Lemmy Web UI sends a lot of HTTP requests to external servers like imgur. (Github Issue)
