The posts here have your home instance as the URL. Is there a way of creating a link that will use the home instance to resolve? Like how you can use !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world for a community. https://lemmy.world/post/8519463 https://sopuli.xyz/post/6065866 https://yiffit.net/post/3862436 are all the same post.
Not natively (that I’m aware of).
A few 3rd party UIs will detect community/user/post links and re-write them to fetch locally.
Answer from @thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee when I asked the same question;
Good question, and sorry to disappoint but I believe the answer is still no. This has been talked about a lot ever since the initial exodus over from Reddit, so I can only assume there’s a complicated technical reason why it’s not a thing yet.
If you’re Lemmying from a browser there’s a tool called Lemmy Universal Link Switcher that I’ve heard good things about, although full disclosure I’ve not used it myself. It doesn’t solve the problem of generating instance-agnostic links but it does try to solve it from the reader’s side.
Actually just learned more about this! See the post on !newToLemmy@lemmy.ca, or use this link to test: lemmy.ca/post/9712488
What I use when clicking on a link is !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca, it will take you to the post on your home instance.
The option when posting is to use lemmyverse.link, which you can put before the URL. For example: https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/9712488
I’ll probably use both. I’ll include lemmyverse.link in my posts when promoting communities, and I’ll use the extension for my own use. At least until there’s a fix in Lemmy itself.
Sadly that breaks things for the UIs that put in the effort to resolve those automatically. I guess I can add a patch to filter out the lemmyverse redirector lol.
