Here's a question about lemmy.world: Does it send a referrer, when you open a link there? Because feddit.org (which is also an #Lemmy) does, but lemmy.world seems to not do that? Is that right and if yes, intentional?@support

@MrKaplan Thanks for the answer and the confirmation.You're right about it being the default on #Mastodon, but it can be changed now. mastodon.social now sends a simple referrer and where's the harm on a bigger platform with many different users?Here's a nice explanation for why it could help adoption and help with the visibility of a platform like lemmy.wotld without making users unsafe:shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/12/masto
