Linking communities in Lemmy across the Federation seems to be very straightforward: I can make [email protected] for example, and everyone across the fediverse will be able to meet me at that community.
However, lets say I have a particular post I made. There are multiple links I can post, but they all feel wrong:
-
My Lemmy.world link: https://lemmy.world/post/168410 . This is how I see it, but I assume people at lemmy.ml and programming.dev won’t be able to post to it or use it.
-
The programming.dev link: https://programming.dev/post/50678 . Perhaps this link is more legitimate, but now I can’t use it, and users from lemmy.ml won’t be able to use it either.
So… how do we share posts (or discuss) about Lemmy-posts across the Lemmy fediverse?
So I thought that you should be able to take https://programming.dev/post/50678, paste it into the search box for lemmy.world, and get the local version of that post. But that doesn’t work for your particular post
However, another programming.dev post does work
I don’t know what the difference is.
I’m struggling with this same thing. I normally use the URL in the “link” icon for lack of a better option but it’s a pain to get back to that post on my instance if I want to comment.
Although this is a slightly older post, I found myself asking the same question. I don’t know if my reply here may, in classic forum terms, bump this thread to draw more attention, but I’m replying in hopes that it might (and apologies to OP for a notification).
Have there been any developments regarding this matter, at the very least some clarification on if the current method would be to copy urls into search, and if so, which?
I haven’t heard of any movement in this issue yet. But I also haven’t researched anything aside from leaving this topic over the last few months.
