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/news@beehaw.org)
[My User](/u/barbarian@lemmy.reckless.dev)
You’re welcome!
I keep wondering what’s the official way to link. I’ve seen these you’re showing, but also !news@beehaw.org which, as shown here, can automatically be converted into a web link format.
And then individual posts? If you crosspost, it shows just a web link again.
