That would be awesome!

Since the page doesn’t have about or info page I’ll add the link to the repo of threadiverse.link: https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link

I thought lemsha.re stopped working - guess not, that’s good news! And such a cool feature by the dev with the voyager link. Haven’t tried that feature out yet (voyager is my personal favourite lemmy app).

Ah must remember wrong or maybe it was proposed!

Yeah the software would need to know, but in a way “lemmy” knows because it knows which instances your instance is federating with. If your instance isn’t federating with the link target it cant find it anyway.

Same as the ! Exclamation mark for communities or @ for users it can do a look up (you can put my link to your search input in lemmy and it will find it), but there would be otherways to achieve this too.

But yeah it would be really nice to have some universal way like the ! And @ signs to point to another fedi post/comment.

No problem, I feel like fedistuff is so scattered and hidden that it’s always worth mentioning your favourite tools :)

The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no? E.g. if you click this it should automatically use your instance to find the comment (even though its a link to my instance): https://sopuli.xyz/comment/17606535

Or maybe you mean when you paste an url to the browser that it should automatically redirect to your instance? If so thats tad bit difficult. There was once a post that proposed something like a activityPub/lemmy URI scheme where links would look like this:

activitypub://<postorcommentidentifier>

But I don’t remember where that conversation led and also I have no idea how feasible that would be.

Edit: added words

I agree with the other answers here, however if you share the link to another fediuser outside of the platform (e.g matrix) I really like sharing with threadiverse.link.

Edit: an example using your post with threadiverse link (used my local instance to copy the post): https://threadiverse.link/sopuli.xyz/post/29845043

You set your instance once into the cookies and it will always redirect to yours.

A fictional character’s death in the Witcher books.

I was reading a fantasy book about a monster hunter, I didn’t expect that one, last paragraph of a chapter, out of the blue, would make me actually uncontrollably cry. The author has been criticized for his writing style but holy shit this was like waking up from a dream that suddenly turned into a nightmare.

And no, it’s not a character you necessarily know if you’ve only played the games.

For some reason I thought it’s home-hosting only. But I love the two answers I got and think I’ll try to participate there!

Thanks for the encouragement! Guess I should really put my shyness aside and just dive into the community discussion :) (I do read and learn from others already, but was too shy to make posts)

Self-hosting communities. I like the idea and do self host if you consider renting a VPS selfhosting, but can’t fit/afford an extra PC (let alone a server rack) in my flat to properly participate in the community.

Which does actually display correctly on Voyager App atleast (can confirm).
