What if you only needed one laptop in your lifetime and could just update parts? This company, Framework, is making that happen. @framework

@helenslunch Nice!👍 I’m glad some ‘know’ so that they can share and help more of us ‘know.’
They responded as such because mentioning @ framework made it show up as a post on the framework community on lemmy. They presumably didn’t understand why, and just thought you were being weird by posting a framework ad on the framework community (where everyone already likes framework)

You @ed the lemmy community for framework, not a mastodon account 😅
For those seeing this on lemmy who don’t understand, this is a post on mastodon, but op accidentally @ed the lemmy community, so it shows up as a post on lemmy. Its like if you tweeted something but @ed the relevant subreddit so it showed up there as a reddit post also
(Also: Mastodon is bigger than lemmy and often has more permissive image hosting, so sometimes its useful to use a mastodon server’s image hosting to post on lemmy if your lemmy instance has convoluted rules about image uploads that are hard to manage, especially from mobile. Just @ the complete name of the lemmy community on an image post via mastodon and it gets posted as a lemmy post to that community. The first line of text becomes the title, the rest of the text becomes the body of the post)
@Cris_Color 🤯 wwwwwaaaaa? I’m like, what’s a lemmy? Who are they? I mean, how did they get here? Or were they always here, and we/I just didn’t know they walked among us? Are they tiny or invisible? Did I step on one by mistake?
I have no idea what’s going on here.
🧚♂️Lemmy is the fediverse equivalent of reddit 😅
For folks viewing your post on lemmy it looks like you posted an ad for framework to the framework “subreddit”, called a community here. But if you look at the account that posted, they’ll see your account is on a mastodon server.
If you edit your post and look at the full address of framework you @ed you’ll see you @ed the lemmy community, and not a mastodon account dedicated to framework
@Cris_Color Thanks for the description of what took place. Is this now a non-issue, or is this still something generating consternation somewhere? Yes, I copied what I understood to be a handle taken from a quick search of Framework, but I didn’t realize how prone a Mastodon post can be to unintended messaging. I may have inadvertently become a pariah among the Lemmists for my message crafting faux pas. I hope it isn’t an ongoing frustration for people over there. No bad intentions from me! ✌️
Lol. Nah, you’re all good. Just like with reddit the Post’s time in the spotlight passes and no one sees it anymore unless they go looking for it, and the comments now explain it was a misunderstanding. Lemmy isn’t even very big so it’s not like an enormous number of people were confused/irritated anyway
Hope you have a good one! :)
I’m just glad you have a character limit lol.
Nah accidents happen, but some jokes might get made.
We are legion.
@Dark_Arc vive les lemmings libre!
Maybe next time tag @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org or use hashtags like a normal person.
