We don’t need AMP links on Lemmy. Please try to avoid them by posting links to the real article. We (mostly, I’d think) have ad blockers, so it won’t be a problem.
Sorry for that, but I don’t actually understand what you mean…
EDIT OK I’ve googled it and it seems to be a page that is sponsored by Google but I use Firefox and it worked fine with that - so is the problem that it doesn’t work with certain browsers?
AMP links are basically Google repackaging other people’s articles. It prevents the actual owner from getting a pageview and let’s Google track you more invasively.
Basically AMP is a copy of the website content hosted by Google for a “speedier load” but there are privacy, longevity, and general decentralization concerns with the “protocol.”

We should have Lemmy auto translate these links to non amp versions, or just outright refuse those links

Not only sponsored, but owned by Google.
