Say I want to link to community x on instance y.org. How do I post this so that someone from instance z.org will end up at z.com/c/x@y.org, but someone from a.org ends up on a.com/c/x@y.org?
The best way is to use relative links, such as !technology@beehaw.org
What I did there was simply [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This link doesn’t start with the protocol and site, but instead assumes the current site, and starts with /c/my_comunity@my_site.tld, meaning it will be routed to the same instance.
This will probably not work for those on Kbin, since their communities (magazines) don’t start with /c/, but rather with /m/. If anyone knows a good way for this to work for both, I’d be glad to adopt that myself going forward.
So if I copy the pink text it should work if I understand correctly?
It does, thank you!
For kbin at least, there’s currently a Firefox add-on that adds an icon next to any full or relative links that sends them to the corresponding kbin magazine version of the lemme community.
