    as far as I know, there isn’t any universal method of linking to specific posts yet. One of the problems with it are that posts seem to have different IDs between instances. Why that is, I don’t know, but it will require some work by the developers to make sure the right ID is linked to when they implement such a universal method to link to posts. Same goes for links to specific replies in a post

      I guess because initially when new instance is created it doesn’t know about others. It has no way to tell what ID is used and which isn’t.

        yeah, which means there’s probably a table translating the IDs from other instances to the IDs on the current instance, because there’s no way federation could work otherwise. So I imagine the devs could add a function that parses a link like this: https://lemmy.world/post/2084462 and changes it to point to the local equivalent ( https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/995589 for me ) by taking that ID 2084462 and looking it up in that table

    Well, you’re using Voyager, which is a WPA app, also known as a web app. An app that runs in your web browser. There is no in app browser as your app is already in your browser… are you still with me? Anyways, here is a link with the proper format.

    And here is how the code looks like [here is a link](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
