  • I think you are referring the button that user interface provides when such operations are executing.

    When the file is playing, you want to pause it, then you may press the pause symbol (Two vertical lines) button to pause it, or else press the play symbol (sideways triangle) to continue playback of the file.

    To explain why the pause symbol is two vertical lines, and the play symbol the sideways triangle, here’re some history:

    the pause button indicates the two rollers beside the read OR write magnet on a tape deck that push the tape up against the head. the single vertical bar with triangle indicates one roller retracted faster play in that direction… basically other than the “play” symbol, which simply means “go” the rest of the symbols are based on the state of the controlling rollers. Record was a red circle, indicating the red shelled “studio in use recording” light outside the door.

    The vertical lines represent the sides of frames on a reel. Pause means you are stopped between two frames, play means you are moving through the frames left to right (hence the arrow), fast forward is moving through the frames at some multiple of 1x, and the scene skip button pushes you forward to some preset “hard” frame edge.

  • It should work if you post using a Lemmy account. However, if you use a Mastodon account it will show as “\#” which is not working as expected right now, someone has been opened an issue talking about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3789

    Edit: After reading your comment again… oops, I think said too fast.

    The situation above only applies when you try to post to Lemmy Communities, and also, I just tried it by myself, hashtag in Lemmy seems won’t work.

    Testing-ground: https://lemm.ee/post/5513264

    Usually, the hashtags in a Lemmy posts is a hyperlink, i.e. [#hashtag](https://example.com/tags/hashtag), for example this post posted by a Mastodon account:

    https://lemmy.world/post/3754328

    I don’t know if hashtag (strings) works on Mastoson, because it might be processed (e.g. HTML character-escaped) when transmitting to another instance, and the testing community i posted is not federated with other instances.












  • I think it will last… Until big companies doesn’t use it anymore.

    Edit:

    I forgot to explain why.

    Many big companies uses Twitter to announce things, like new products, updates, etc.

    I think when they all stop announcing on Twitter, or even change to another platform to continue their announcement (for example, some of I used to follow have been moved Mastodon), these users will think that there’re no reason to use Twitter anymore, then Twitter would less known, and less users use it afterwards.
