How could Lemmy implement an age verification system?

I don’t think that it would matter much. Assuming that the legislation applies to the Threadiverse and doesn’t have some sort of exception, it’d still be effectively unenforceable, because most instances don’t operate in France’s legal jurisdiction, and I imagine that most users, even in France, don’t really care whether their instance is in France or not.

If it’s new, it looks like 128GB ECC DDR4 is maybe $1k, going by this listing:

Dunno what the used-new difference is currently.

Great minds think alike. Yeah, just followed up with a similar comment. So probably a bug, but not sure whether it’s an mbin or Lemmy bug. Like you, I can also see the intended URL on PieFed (olio.cafe).

EDIT: Same problem on lemmy.ml, and they’re the dev instance, run the latest version of Lemmy:

EDIT2: I submitted a post to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml at https://lemmy.ml/post/41019532 to make the devs aware of the interaction, if they weren’t already.

It’s not visible via lemmy.today’s Web UI:

Checking whether it’s just lemmy.today somehow mangling things, it doesn’t look like it. Here’s beehaw.org’s Web UI directly:

As of the moment, both are a link to an image (though lemmy.today is proxying the link to that image):

Same behavior seen when browsing lemmy.today in Eternity.

EDIT: Fedia.io is running mbin. You submitted it via fedia.io. This community is on beehaw.org. I wonder if there was some kind of recent mbin/lemmy compatibility bug? I’d check fedia.io’s Web UI, but it currently disallows anonymous browsing (probably because of all the AI web scrapers hammering Threadiverse instances that allow anonymous access).

If you were trying to link to an article, you just linked to an image.
