Big read, but gives a good perspective.

I think theres three big stories of this coming election.

The rebalancing of metro v regional votes.
Liberals progress clawing back traditional Liberal seats could indicate how satisfied West Australians are with WA Labor.
Independent Challengers in western suburbs could indicate dissatisfaction with both majors for different and complicated reasons.

@Steveg58@aus.social can you provide some context for how this post came to be in your timeline? Are we obliviously spamming everyone's timeline with everything we post here on Lemmy?

@maniacalmanicmania
In my case I am following # Perth.

So had a quick look at your lemmy history, sorry if that feels like an invasion but i'm trying to find context for your issue. I see you commented on a c/fuckcars post with a link to a forbes article. That community is on another instance so could be instructive, if that link worked?

What i'm trying to ascertain is whether, as i suspect, theres not really anything i can do because its an interoperability problem between masto and lemmy, something for the developers of each platform to hopefully work out one day. If they wish to. Or whether we're talking an aussie zone specific issue. In that case maybe the admins of AZ can weigh in @lodion@aussie.zone @Nath@aussie.zone

In the meantime, if theres an answer for link breakages crossing from lemmy to mastodon that you or others on mastodon know about, i'd be happy to accomodate those links in posts, if possible.

Also, personally i find the language used in your OG comment, like "hostile", an aggressive tone to take for something thats likely a federation or technical issue. Doesn't motivate me to be to accomodating. I've tried to be constructive, i appreciate the same.

I think I see what @Steve@aus.social is saying. If I search up #perth from Mastodon, I get this:

Each link goes to Aussie.zone instead of the end news sites. If we didn't appreciate federation, it'd look like a bunch of blog posts all to some random site being posted to /c/Perth.

I agree that it's a Mastodon issue: the destination url is a part of the post. They could link to there instead of the Lemmy instance.

Okay interesting, thanks for coming in on this.

Is there anything i can do from our side, such as paste the link in the heading?
