Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fediverse@lemmy.ml

I posted this from mastodon where you can’t link to communities in that way…

Well, in that case ignore it, it at least provides a clickable link for Lemmy users.

I thought it was typed “a URL”, not " an URL"

Not sure though, dont kill me, English isn’t my native language.

They’re both acceptable in English. The rule is generally “an” if the following word starts with a vowel. But, it gets a bit tricky with initialisms (like URL) because URL is normally pronounced something like “you-are-ell”, and not “earl”. So the spelling starts with a vowel, but the pronunciation doesn’t. Nobody would fault you for using one or the other in a situation like this.

TIL, I always thought the sound made the law (so a URL but not an URL)

OP was unnecessarily rude to you. I’m waiting for my mod ban for calling them out. This place can’t be that different than reddit.

It is generally a good practice to be specific when describing vulnerabilities. Further, people tend to just read headlines and we know this. You don’t need to be a snarky jerk when someone points that out. Heaven forbid people learn something, sheesh.

This would be more relevant in !lemmy@lemmy.ml, although there’s already a post about it there.
