For years, the internet has been shrinking. Not in size, not in data, but in ownership. A vast, decentralized network of personal blogs, forums, and independent communities has been corralled into a handful of paved prison yards controlled by a few massive corporations. Every post, every “friend,” every creative work—

Or even read whatever it is
feh…
I could read it without logging in. Only tried on Android Fennec
I could read as well

Mastodon v4.3.4, Firefox 136.0 (64-bit) browser tab on Ubuntu desktop
This is so typical of #Lemmy posts I’ve already filtered them out
Why should I click through on something I won’t be able to read?
Not sure what you’re talking about, never experienced that in Lemmy links. I’ll check this one later when I’m on PC
@saplacat
It does exactly the same thing when I click through on your profile link from Mastodon and click the top-most link under your profile
Y’all got sold a bill of goods and seem to be stuck in your own little Walled Garden
Which link exactly are you trying to open? I think this is on your side but it’s hard to make out what you’re actually trying or which links you are referring to.

“I think this is on your side but it’s hard to make out what you’re actually trying or which links you are referring to.”
This is exactly my point
I’m clicking on the links you’re posting as they appear on Mastodon
I’m on Mastodon v4.3.4 which is the latest version
Why do I have to be logged in to some Lemmy instance to get Lemmy posts to operate with any kind of sanity?
I don’t
Since I still don’t know which link you are talking about I don’t know. Lemmy Posts including this one are visible without logging though, hence my question which link you’re trying.
(I’m not posting any links right now so I wonder what’s appearing on mastodon)
If you want to use the lemmy webapp you’re showing in your screen shot, yes, you should register on lemmy. But you can definitely interact with lemmy posts without loggin o creating a lemmy account, as you’re doing right now.
