Is it worth registering my number with the federal government (which presumably already has access to my information) to avoid spam calls? Does it work? Is there a downside?

    And also, why does this sub require a URL to post a question? Like, what if my question was so truly stupid that there was no related website?

    That might be an issue with your app/client/browser, because if you look at the rest of the sub there’s plenty of posts without a link. Unless it was changed between your post and the one before it.

      Edit: It’s because I chose “Link” as the type of post. If I had chosen “Discussion”, a URL wouldn’t have been required.

      I always do this - I ask questions first and click around later. JFC, I don’t know if I’ve got ADHD or just come down with a case of boomeritis.


      Thanks for this!

      The field was marked required, with a red asterisk. I tried posting without a URL, and it did not accept the webform. Said I needed to fill in the required field.

      I took a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/gbF3jP3

      (And if Imgur doesn’t meet Lemmy standards, I’m happy to use a different service.)
