Is there a way to make a link to a community of a foreign instance that opens on the instance of the user that clicks on it?
For example, I would like to make a link to !some_community@foo.com that, when a user of bar.com clicks on it, opens https://bar.com/c/some_community@foo.com instead of https://foo.com/c/some_community.
If it’s not possible, don’t you think it would be convenient?
I thought it worked if you just linked /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
With the only caveat being that users on kbin will need /m/asklemmy.mlWith the only caveat being that users on kbin will need /m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
I would normally test the crap out of these before posting since I really don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m on my phone and mostly busy at the moment. Sorry if it doesn’t work.
Kbin needs /m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml (domain is important) or a bit simpler is with an @ symbol in front: @asklemmy (note: the domain is here but kbin currently renders it without the domain – that needs to be changed as it has potential to confuse and mislead)
Downside to the /m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml format is that it doesn’t currently auto linkify. Gotta do
[/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml](/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml)(/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml)Hopefully kbin soon fixes the !asklemmy@lemmy.ml syntax. It’s currently broken. Once fixed, that should work for everyone.
Weirdly enough on kbin.social for me /m/asklemmy.ml link in the post worked for me
