I know I’ve seen it before, some website that translated a link to a post into a link to that same post, but on the instance of the user clicking the link. I cannot for the life of me seem to find it again, though.
It was not a browser extension.
I think that was it! Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
I’m not sure what you mean by a website that does this, but Lemmy uses a couple different simple formats for that. You can use a ! or just /c/. For instance
Those link to communities, not specific posts.
I really wish the Lemmy devs had come up with a portable post URL format. Maybe something like
https://*any-instance*/post/*number*@*source-instance*Then the clients could handle it like the ! links for communities and also just rewrite links to be for the currently logged-in instance.
There was a feature request for it years ago. I bet PieFed will do it before Lemmy does.
Ah, sorry, I read your post incorrectly. Glad it got figured out.
Apparently Jerboa doesn’t recognize the /c/ version as a link…
Boost either.
