I love the app so far but I am having trouble with opening Lemmy links from other instances. When someone links to say a Lemmy.world post, I am hit with a window saying I have to have a Lemmy.world account in order to vote and such. This is incredibly inconvenient, I don’t know how voyager does it but voyager just lets me view the post and vote/etc. in my instance without forcing me to change accounts. Anyway to get rid of this behavior so it is more like voyager? I want other Lemmy links to be opened in my instance so I can vote and such.
Also unrelated but just now I was unable to upload a picture from summit and had to switch apps to upload the photo.
Not even the official Lemmy app can do that. I don’t know how Voyager does it, but afaik there is no straightforward way to get to the same post on a different instance. I’m curious, if someone can tell me! (And save me having to decipher it from the source code)
There is a way and Summit supports it. The answer is in the UI dialog although if I can communicate it more clearly please let me know. The
change instancebutton will open the post in the instance of the current user. In this case it will open the lemmy.world post in the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance.
