A men’s rights activist. You could have just searched the web like I did.

That could be it. Incidentally, the image displays fine in the web UI. Must be a bug in Thunder.

their crosspost was missing the additional information they added in the body of the original post

What do you mean “missing”? Are cross posts supposed to copy over the original post body? Post bodies often contain notes specifically for the community they are posted in and you wouldn’t want the original body. Just the link and your own post body. Even if they are copied, you can certainly remove that text and write your own. Hell, you could just delete the “crossposted from” note, too!

This is not a bug. It’s a tiny feature the web UI does that Thunder chose not to implement.

(I fixed your nouns in the quote. You should have just done that in your edit.)

Edit: indeed, the web UI quotes the entire original post body and adds the cross post note. You are free to delete all of it.

I realize, in this case, crossposting this post without also adding a body explaining the post is a little odd. But it’s always the poster’s choice to add or modify the post body after clicking crosspost. Could Thunder add a feature to copy the original body as a quote? Sure. But it’s not a big.

Huh, then you worded your comment kind of strangely.

In any case, I think the rest of my comment applies then. It’s a feature of the web UI and not one that is particularly useful in my opinion since the post already contains metadata about cross posts, and Thunder displays the age of all of the crossposts making it pretty easy to identify the original. (Unless the crosspost was done at the same time as the original post, which usually indicated the original author was posting it in several places at once, in which case which one is really “the original”?)

If the web UI doesn’t show this data, then that’s the fault of the web UI.

Edit: Maybe I misunderstood. Are you implying that Thunder does this, too, but only if there’s already content in the post body?

Ah, sounds like it’s a web UI front-end feature then. It just sticks that text in there for you. That’s odd when there’s back-end data that contains the cross post information and accessible from the API.

(At least that’s my assumption. Thunder shows crosspost data in a handy table. I feel certain it’s not generating this data on its own from some kind of search. The database must already contain this data and have an API for it, so why does the web UI stuff it into the post body at the same time?)

For some reason my lemmy client, Thunder, can’t display that image from Wikipedia, but the URL is correct. I can open it in a browser.

Reuploading it to Lemmy in case others have the same issue.

The body of posts is submitted by the user. I’ve personally never noticed “crossposted from” in the body of a post. Whereas the crossposted metadata is stored separately on the server.

I came here to make the same observation.

Pick one.

This may not be helpful to you in particular, but I wanted to throw this out there.

I don’t like Auto Rotate because apps can undesirably rotate when the phone is in odd positions. However, I think it’s great for video apps, camera apps, and photo galleries.

Auto Auto-Rotate fixes this. It’s free and open source. When you toggle the Auto Rotate setting on or off, you’re doing it for just the current app!

So now I just rotate my phone the way I want and YouTube matches. No need to hit the full screen button.

Also, if you don’t know, in the YouTube app you can swipe a video up to make it full screen without having to use the full screen button. Of course, it’ll rotate the “natural” way first, which is what’s annoying you. Just thought I’d mention it. I sometimes use that feature when my phone is flat on a table while I’m eating or something and I don’t want to pick it up to engage auto-rotate.

To work best, Auto Auto-Rotate equires a persistent notification, but even with that off, it will work for a long time before you have to relaunch the app. Battery optimization for the app should be off, of course.

I was the first person to post on the pluriverse in 2008.

Cookie cutter engagement bullshit questions. “Which blah would you blah if you could blah a blah? Let me know in the comments”

I don’t even sell flowers!

when it’s done, fill it up again. Repeat all day.

So every 10 seconds?

Good old Evan Williams Clear. Excellent choice!

A pound cake is supposed to have a pound of butter, hence the name. So, four sticks. Three sticks is a diet pound cake.

And pistachios, too, sometimes.

No, I meant the person who said, “Media literacy skill: 0”

Don’t listen to the haters. The original sentence was ambiguous.
