Uh. Which is which?

Did you try logging in?

I opened an app.element.io link to the sopuli space, and even though it goes directly to the welcome/login page, once I log in, it immediately opened to the sopuli space.

It stands for guest. It replaces the account icon that would be visible, were I logged in.

I am not. I normally use a desktop application, I host the web client for my users.

Are you suggesting I invented this functionality that I actively use?

Here is the same url opened in firefox on my phone, where I have never accessed my matrix account via anything other than an app.

More likely, the element.io instance disables this functionality for some reason.

No.

But the link is formatted like this: https://element.myinstanceurl.com/#/room/#sopuli:matrix.org

It definitely works. Here is what I get when opening the sopuli lemmy instance matrix space, using a link from my instance of element.

Clicking “join” prompts me to either log in, or create an account, which on my element instance defaults to my matrix server.

Are you serious?

Here are step by step instructions.

1. Open matrix web client
2. Log in
3. Open a room you wish to get the url for
4. Look at the address bar

On element, this URL opens the room on any device, even if not logged in (and provides the option to either create an account, or sign into one). Cinny does not support this functionality. Entering the url without being logged in, does not work.

The one in the address bar of the browser. Not sure you can get it some other way, copying the link from inside element also produces matrix.to links.

In element, when you go to that address (on a new device that isn’t logged in), you get:

Just checked, and Cinny doesn’t seem to support this. They only do matrix.to, so I suspect you’d need your own matrix.to instance to create links that work the way you want (with Cinny).

This isn’t possible via matrix.to, they only allow you to pre-set a small list of pre-approved web clients. I think you could maybe self-host matrix.to, to get what you want?

I haven’t self-hosted Cinny, but I do have an element instance. Using that, simply copying the url from the address bar, works. That takes them to page that allows them to sign up on my instance, and then join the room/space.

Does this work with Cinny?

Alternatively, you can give them the link to your web client, and the room/space address, separately. That will both allow them to sign up, and then join the room/space using the address.

It’s a fucking residential area. Unless you live there, this doesn’t affect you.

The fuck are a bunch of businesses doing, suing to be able to drive there?

If you give a homeless person a home, then by definition, they are no longer homeless.

On a less pedantic note, yes, it should. Some countries (like mine) provide a secure place to live as step one, when helping the homeless. Having somewhere safe to sleep, keep your property, etc. makes all the other steps involved in solving your problems much easier, leading to a better success rate in getting people back on their feet.

Websites don’t typically use the device location services.

I’m assuming that if you open up google maps, the GPS triangulated location shown there is correct?

Websites will determine where you are, typically, based of IP, but this is not always reliable. And especially on cellular, your IP will change every now and then.

Oh that’s new for me. I’ve been using alternativeto.com

I’m not sure whether you are making a joke?

The vast majority of bees, wasps, ants and any other hive insects you’ll see, are infertile drones. With each hive housing only a single female individual capable of sexual reproduction, which does not leave the hive after it forms.

Fertile males only exist for a short time during swarming season, and they do die after doing their thing.

You’re thinking of seeds.

Pollen is only the male half of the genetic material required for sexual plant reproductin, and is the step before plants produce fruit and seeds.

Hence, jizz.

Communities cannot be fully “deleted”.

They can only be “deleted” in the sense that they disappear for everyone.

You, as a mod, can still see and restore the community. To get rid of it from your list, you’d have to be unassigned as a mod. I don’t think that’s possible if you’re the only mod in a community.

And if they’ll eat it.

Mine slurps up half of the gravy, and then shows absolutely no interest in the solid food.

He was a rescue, so I didn’t get decide what he got used to eating.

Edit: I was not asking for advice. You are not giving me new ideas. The boy is over 10 years old at this point, the transition to wet food has been attempted a couple times, with veterinary advice.

He was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure in december, when he stopped eating even dry food. He is now on a veterinary diet to extend and make the remainder of his life comfortable. As such even fewer options are available. The wet versions of the special foods were tried, but especially considering his condition, he must eat, and do so regularly.
