Say I want to link to community x on instance y.org. How do I post this so that someone from instance z.org will end up at z.com/c/[email protected], but someone from a.org ends up on a.com/c/[email protected]?

    The best way is to use relative links, such as [email protected]

    What I did there was simply [[email protected]](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This link doesn’t start with the protocol and site, but instead assumes the current site, and starts with /c/my_comunity@my_site.tld, meaning it will be routed to the same instance.

      For kbin at least, there’s currently a Firefox add-on that adds an icon next to any full or relative links that sends them to the corresponding kbin magazine version of the lemme community.

      In my phone, for some reason, Jerboa crashes when I tap your link.

        That’s a known bug in Jerboa. It’s already been reported and the dev acknowledged it.

      So if I copy the pink text it should work if I understand correctly?

      It does, thank you!
