Hi all!

So, I’m assuming everyone has seen links like https://beehaw.org/c/news and clicked through to find it doesn’t work right because it’s a different site (I’m assuming a different instance here).

Well, I just stumbled across an interesting feature: if you enter a link in the following format, it works for everyone regardless of instance of origin:

[News](/c/[email protected])

News

[My User](/u/[email protected])

My User

You’re welcome!

    Good catch, when I cross-posted, it automatically links to the original instance, not the local version, and I never changed that part
