Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Question about navigating federated instances (lemmygrad.ml)

Say I view a lemmy post or mastodon toot on a different site, getting there from a link shared via any other medium: how do I view it through my home instance?

For example if I view a lemmy.ml thread on lemmy.ml, I can read it but can't a comment or vote as I'm not 'logged in.' Presumably the solution is to convert the URL to a lemmygrad one, but I'm not sure how to go about it. The URL usually has just a post ID, which presumably is unique only to that instance, and not something my home instance would necessarily recognise.

Copy the link into the search bar on your home instance

The link must be the "source" link, so where it was ~~orifinally~~ originally posted
