For example, this comment links to another community on another instance, but when clicked on, you’re not actually able to interact with anything on that community, because you’re suddenly not logged in.
It’s doesn’t function like linking to a subreddit, and I understand that that’s because of federation, but is there a better way of doing this? It seems… very stupid that linking to a page would suddenly “log you out” for all intents and purposes, while searching that same community wouldn’t.
Does this make sense?
This works on browsers but crashes Jerboa for some reason:
Ask Lemmy
Lemmy World
[Ask Lemmy](/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml) [Lemmy World](/c/Lemmyworld@lemmy.world)
I’m not sure what I expected clicking those links in Jerboa, but it’s true they do crash Jerboa when clicked
Reading that comment, reading this comment, still clicking on the link with Jerboa:
They work for me on Jerboa 0.35!
They kind of work, you can see below that the content is not from those communities. I have to change the sort method to get the content, but the sort method is broken for me as I’m on lemmy.one which is not on v18:
Whoops, I get that too. Refreshing the page loads the correct content for me. Clicking those links previously crashed Jerboa iirc so at least it’s a step in the right direction!
Those links don’t crash my jerboa. 0.18.0-rc and 0.0.35.
But is there a way to link to individual submissions on other instances?
The feature exists in the fediverse, but I don’t know if or how it’s implemented in Lemmy. I’m using Kbin and there is a button called “copy url to fediverse” (for comments and posts/threads):
Your comment: https://feddit.de/comment/508518
This post/thread: https://lemm.ee/post/288327
So basically, each entry has a unique ID and home instance that you can use to build a link to the “original”.
I can confirm this link style works in the iOS Memmy App. As well as links formatted like “!community@instance”.
Hilariously, neither of these work on Kbin either (probably because Kbin uses m instead of c).

I can indeed, or I can just change links like https://kbin.social/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml to https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
