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/[email protected])

News

[My User](/u/[email protected])

My User

You’re welcome!

      Maybe you could bring it up with the Kbin devs? I’m sure it wouldn’t be too crazily difficult to have it work similarly over there. Just need to swap /c/ out for a /m/. Probably similar needed over here to translate /m/ to /c/ too.

      This trick only works on Lemmy, because it relies on Lemmy’s URL structure. Kbin uses a different URL structure.
