Sometimes I wish lemmy/fediverse had an option to detect if something was on the fedi and give you the option to direct link. Would make it nicer to vote/follow.

Third-party apps like boost can do this, so I assume the frontend could if they wanted.

Interesting I'll give it a shot.

Usually apps support the ! syntax.

In Eternity, my link works and opens in the app while the lemmyverse.link 'cannot be resolved'.

Much like the other user, the instance link works for me and keeps me local, but the lemmy verse link takes me to that instance.

Did you select your home instance when accessing https://lemmyverse.link/ for the first time?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yup. Or use custom, and type (for you) lemmy.ca

Worked for me just now. Super useful.

Now THAT is a cool feditool!

I don't understand how lemmy and fedi apps in general still have this problem, they never seem to be able to recognize a link and just show it on my home instance.
