How to link to a Lemmy post?
How can I link to a Lemmy post in a way that another Lemmy user that can view the linked page without the "You must log in or sign in to vote or comment" message (when they are already logged in)?
And vice versa: how can I click on a Lemmy link and not get that problem?
The proper way to link to someone's post or comment is to copy the Permalink, or the URL at the rainbow star logo symbol. That doesn't really solve your issue though.
Some apps automatically convert links to avoid the logged out issue, some don't.
Another solution is https://lemmyverse.link/ to make lemmy links server agnostic.
Thanks.
I've been trying out some front ends the last few weeks (Tess first, now Alexandrite) so didn't see the rainbow button.
I think the equivalent in Alexandrite is the Original Post button, which for this post gives this:
https://lemmy.ca/post/42943146 (which opens in "regular" Lemmy web)
I don't see one on comments.
If I give lemmyverse.link the URL straight from my current Alexandrite front end, it gives me an error:
https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/post/42943146
Lemmyverse and lemshare both give an error if I give it a "front-end URL" (e.g. alex or tess) but work if I do several additional steps to get a "non-front-end" URL.
