Sound’s like you’re just being obstinate, then. It works, just not how you would prefer (well, I would also prefer that it didn’t give an error screen like that, but that’s besides the point). This is still early days of an open source project, and for that one should have a bit more understanding than for corporate products. A lot of other services also started out very unpolished and took time to get better.
The good thing is that you should be able to contribute and make it so that it doesn’t do that since you wrote you were a software developer for your whole career.
EDIT: nice angry downvote, Cosmic Cleric…

The WTF are you calling me obstinate then?

No, that’s exactly the point. You even agreed, responding to me as well as responding to others, that’s not working as what most would consider as normal, with a preference on what a more normal response to clicking on the link should be.

I’ve contributed to open source projects before, so I’ve already done my bit for “King and Country”. I’m recently retired. But since you care so much about it, I’m sure you can contribute.
You should take a step back and realize I’m not attacking Lemmy, I use it, and I support it. I am just calling out a design and implementation point that needs refinement, as like you mentioned, is what’s done in early open source projects.
Who said I can program?
EDIT: If I could do the work to make it work better I would.

Wow, so you bypass everything I said just to come back with a five worded single sentence that avoids the overall context of what I said.
Why are we arguing, why are you attacking me? It doesn’t help gatekeeping, it preventing input to improve a product.
