So I know about /c/community@example.host for communities and /u/user@example.host for users, but how do I link to individual posts in a way that won’t be a hassle for people in other instances?
I’m case it’s useful, there’s a discussion on linking here: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/36299
I don’t think there’s any single answer yet though.
Likely there is no way yet. Even the clean way to link back to your instance will throw an error, if the previous connection was not yet made.
Omg I think I’ve got it. Ill test it by trying to link to the community I found it on, agnostically for anyone to click Edit: its hosted on lemmy.one, and so is my user so I cant test, anyone got results?
it sort of works, in the sense that it links to the same URL format of “[your instance]/c/meta@lemmy.one”
Problem is, the Threadiverse’s link formats aren’t consistent. I’m on Fedia.io, a Kbin instance, and that gives me an error because our communities are on /m/ instead.
I deleted it moments after posting because I realised it wasnt what op was asking so idk how you saw it lol. As for the crashing, I also use jerboa and the instance agnostic links crashing it seem to be a bug
It’s possible to get a post on your local instance by searching the URL for the post on instance it was posted from (the link from the rainbowy button in lemmy’s UI), it would be nice to have some automatic link rewriting, when a post contains such a link.
Unless it already does that? https://lemmy.world/post/94456
