No, that’s a Lemmy bug. If it’s screwing up URLs like that it could affect other URLs too. Not a bug of text fragments. Text fragments are still relatively new. Firefox only began supporting them last year. Annoyingly, to create then in Firefox you still need to go into about:config or use an extension. But still, the idea that we should favor paginated format just because you can say “page blah” when we have better ways is foolish. Saying “Search for the phrase ‘blah blah blah’” works equally well without text fragments.
And yes, it’s annoying that anchor links are too difficult to link to. But again, the idea that we should accept all the baggage of paginated formats just because anchors tend to be done incorrectly is foolish as well.
I think you just proved my point.
None of that is nearly as simple and accessible to non-techy people as page numbers. A page number would also not have been scrabled by Lemmy.
(I of course do know about link anchors and all that, but it’s just a hassle to use.)
