Yeah, I think that’s one of the user experience issues we’re facing. Setting the canonical as the original server makes the most sense, but that would mean if you find something interesting via a search engine you have to figure out how to get it to show up on your home instance.

Like for me, since I run my own instance for myself and one other person so far, I have to find interesting communities manually. It’s really annoying. Though, looking at Lemmy v0.18 release notes, a lot of new devs have made contributions and I’m sure more will help in the future. One improvement from yesterday’s release is visiting a remote community on your home server will pull the community rather than returning a 404. I think changes like that are big first steps towards improving this specific aspect of the user experience.

I think you’re right. Looking at the html source for this page I don’t see a canonical tag, though. Maybe they haven’t added it yet? Or I missed it.

Same here. I’ll check out the Fediverse first then go to reddit if I still need to waste time. No point in quitting early. The protests clearly failed so might as well just accept that.

Hopefully their numbers drop dramatically next month.
