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)

    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 :(
