It’s all fun and games nowadays, but I think it’s worth remembering that post offices were considered critical infrastructure back then (in my country I think they still are, officially, even though people rarely consider it as such). Until the widespread adoption of the telephone, having your settlement (city, town etc.) lack a post office (or any way of sending a letter anywhere) meant cutting it from the rest of the world - and even after that they were highly important, as you couldn’t send papers (as in documents) by email, so you had to mail them using the post office.

My parents even got quite a bunch of postcards (if you’re too young to know what this is about search the internet for that) from all their vacations when they were young, which they all sent and received, as the name implies, via regular mail.

Ah, I see. It’s probably an issue with Lemmy. Here on Friendica I only posted it once:

What do you mean?

Edit: I’ve read all your replies. It looks to be more of a Lemmy thing. Here on Friendica it looks just fine:
