I was horrified, after I took a #macro #photography and saw that my "clean" finger was filled with #swarf #particles imbedded in the #fingerprint after 3 hours of just teaching in a #machineshop that day.

It’s because they’re not posting via Lemmy; They’re posting via Pixelfed, which is something more akin to a federated version of Instagram. They @ the relevant community or users to make posts/responses; notice the “@[email protected]” in their post. This is also why you’ll sometimes see comments begin with an “@{username}” of whoever they’re responding to. On Lemmy’s end it looks out of place, but on their end it looks more like an Instagram comments section, where @‘ing people is necessary to be able to follow the comment thread.
It’s one of the odd quirks of federation that can be difficult to wrap your head around when you’re accustomed to every single social media site acting like a walled garden… Federated posts are able to federate not only to different Lemmy instances, but to entirely different platforms.
So no, it may not be fucking tumblr, but for them it is fucking Instagram.
Are those specific instances that are federated in (that can be separately blocked, like people do with .ml)? Or is it just another access point for any given instance?
This post was posted to [email protected] via pixey.org, a pixelfed instance.
Since the post is on the [email protected] community, it cannot be blocked using the blocking features available. Unfortunately, Lemmy does not have any feature that would allow blocking this, which is exactly what I am lamenting in my comment.
