For all things relating to Lemmy.zip.

If there's a link in a thread that's not to a .zip community, how can you get there so you can interact with it through your account? (I'll put an example in the post)

you are viewing a single comment's thread

For example, someone posted this link (https://sh.itjust.works/post/31943808 ), and it was recent enough that I went to the comm homepage and changed it to .zip from there, but when I opened the thread through .zip it had a different post number (https://lemmy.zip/post/31038821 ) (actually I usually use old.lemmy.zip but it's the same post number either way).

If it'd been an older thread I couldn't find on the homepage, I'm not sure how to go about accessing it through .zip. Any ideas?

Also as a side note, is there a way to link specific posts with the ! markdown so they open for everyone in their home instance? I know how to link comms with that formatting, like [email protected], but not how to do it for specific posts.

There's a third-party tool you can usually use: https://lemmyverse.link/

So pop the url of the post on the home instance in, and you get https://lemmyverse.link/sh.itjust.works/post/31943808

Once you've set your home instance, it will divert you to the home instance's post.

Unfortunately there isnt a way that i know of that lets you do it in lemmy. I think adopting sharing links via lemmyverse.link is the way forwards at the moment.

It doesn't work with frontends sadly though :(
