PSA: How to link users & communities so it doesn't break for other instances
Hi all!
So, I'm assuming everyone has seen links like https://beehaw.org/c/news and clicked through to find it doesn't work right because it's a different site (I'm assuming a different instance here).
Well, I just stumbled across an interesting feature: if you enter a link in the following format, it works for everyone regardless of instance of origin:
[News](/c/news@beehaw.org)
[My User](/u/barbarian@lemmy.reckless.dev)
You're welcome!
You're viewing a single thread.
Sorry OP, but your links don't work for me. Reading this on kbin and all your links are 404'ing.
Maybe you could bring it up with the Kbin devs? I'm sure it wouldn't be too crazily difficult to have it work similarly over there. Just need to swap /c/ out for a /m/. Probably similar needed over here to translate /m/ to /c/ too.
