Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?
- Yes please! No more power to evil corporations. I don't want my server to add interaction to them and help drive their agenda.
- Didn't lemmy.world already block threads? I could swear I saw this post a while ago.
  
  I don't think they have yet. @ruud@lemmy.world
  
  can check here https://lemmy.world/instances
  It's not federated or blocked yet. It's not showing up yet
- I was planning to start a petition post, but wasn't sure where would be the right place to post it.
  Edit: Someone did already! https://lemmy.world/post/1125293
  
  I clicked this link in the Jerboa app and it opened into my browser where I wasn't signed in. Is it not possible yet to have lemmy links automatically open into the Jerboa app or is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?
  
  Try the app "Connect for Lemmy". Links works great in here.
  
  Great, will do, thanks so much!
  
  No worries.
  I keep switching between apps, trying to find the right one.
  I was using Boost for many years, so I'm looking forward to seeing the new Lemmy client released. Until then, I guess I'll keep jumping around a bit.
  
  Me too, I've been on reddit for over a decade. I briefly tried a few of the open source alternatives, but was 98% Boost for as long as I can remember. I don't know what I was using before Boost came along.
  
  Not sure. I wasn't able to pull the link to a post inside Jarboa, and ended up opening the thread in browser, getting the link there, then making reply also via browser.
  Maybe there is a better syntax for internal Lemmy links, other than https?
- Admins already said they fully support integration with threads. I'm going to move instances and my Patreon.
  
  Oh no :( I missed that, did they say why?
  
  Basically they said "we want to see how bad it is first then decide."
