QR code was a mistake and does not suite that use case. Changing a few spots would have corrupted the URL whereas a “Lemmy” sign would’ve been much better. Even with corrupted pixels, it would still be distinctly recognizable.

This is not true: QR codes have built in error correction, they are designed specifically for the purpose of working when many pixels are distorted

you need to configure it to “max” for the most protection and most size

QR codes have error corrections up to about ~30% error tolerance when using the highest error correction level

It’s worth noting the QR code from earlier went to this site and was not lemmy related

Ah, my mistake! I misunderstood when the post said “this site” I took it to mean “this site we are on” and I never bothered to check it.

I’ll edit my comment

Ah I can see that. I just wrote “this site” to keep the mystery of what the QR codes to a little alive like how it’s be if you scanned it
