I’m a little unclear on the purpose of this. I see some folks using it and other’s not using it for similar content.
Is it something that can show up in other instances like on Lemmy too?
I added it to this post, but didn’t use it on previous posts as I wasn’t sure about it.
OC stands for “original content”. the idea is that if it’s your own created content you check the box. if you’re reposting or sharing something you didn’t make, then you don’t check it.
iirc it’s included because of mastodon and other early activitypub groups having that sort of culture. so yes, in theory it should sync I think? similar to the nsfw/18+ flag.
Cool! Thanks for the info! I kinda thought that was the deal but wasn’t certain. I appreciate the context and background!
If you’re familiar with how they do things on reddit, it’s a similar ideas as marking your post with [OC] and other such. basically if you draw something or make a video and share it, then mark the box. otherwise no.
So what about a post like this one? Is this something that should be marked as OC since it was my question and writing, or not because I didn’t really create anything?
Without having used it before, it feels like it lends itself better to stuff that’s been created (like artwork or a video or something along those lines) as opposed to just a post like this. Am I getting the right vibe of it here?
Can’t see it on jerboa
