Is there an easy way to share a lemmy thread in a way that’s instance-agnostic (they can view it on their instance even if it’s different from mine) ?
Similarly, any way to quickly switch to viewing a linked post on my instance if it’s linked through another?
It’s not instance agnostic because the thread lives on the instance of the author. But links in this format: https://lemm.ee/post/57428587 can be put in the search field on any instance and will return the proper post.
And smart clients/UIs like tesseract realise that the link is to a remote lemmy instance, and then give you the option of viewing it remotely or from your own instances perspective
cooooool mbin automatically formats it to a local link:
must be new in v1.80
That’s cool indeed! If it doesn’t get in the way with too many links in a post
Yes, it’s a great feature
