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).
I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.
If you are new on Lemmy, check out: https://lemmyverse.net/communities for communities to join!

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.
Interesting. We have an official comaps community on !CoMaps@sopuli.xyz that is linked on comaps page and one of the main devs posts there. Wonder if they made that user?
I wouldn’t say no one who isn’t running linux isn’t going to see this:
I know that I switched over to linux because of the sheer amount of advocacy and info posts for beginners on lemmy. I used to only use linux servers at work, but lemmy convinced / helped me to switch fully to linux! :)
Edit: just to clarify: I mean this post will get shared around on spaces with noobs like me, even if its on peertube and im not “on it”
Marking August 7th to my calendar. Stupid greedy Oracle should’ve let JS trademark go long time ago.
Based on the README and that article, the founder sounds like he is deep into conspiracy theories and is an anti-vaccine MAGA person.
Not to downplay the problems on xorg and I am happy it’s getting forked, but wtf is up with “No DEI” “Make X great again” in the README… Doesn’t convince me at all that this project is going to stay intact and upkept on the long term.
Edit: added some words
Edit2: yeah okay, he’s a complete nutjob and a shitty person. See link below
Lol love the new username, fitting! :)
I use keepass apps and place the keepass file into my own cloud and just sync it that way.
Has worked flawlessly for years and I just donate my money to the Open source apps (both XC and DX).
Yeah holy shit. When I was starting out and tagged along a senior on a trip he literally hauled a big backpack of spirits with him.
Got out of that industry after a few years when I realized why every senior was drinking. The money was just not worth it for me.
Tech companies turned the GDPR into a daily nuisance rather than a shield for people.
Exactly. So many companies wanted to make it look like “this annoying popup is here because of EU. We want to offer you a big fat ALLOW ALL to make it simple for you… Don’t mind what it means… If you wanna know you are welcome to read this bullshit generic law text that probably has mistakes in it but you wouldn’t know because you just want to read some small text snippet here and don’t want to get into it”.
1 month late to the party but just wanted to confirm that yes.
Another possibility is on sopuli’s General matrix room.
Agreed! And communities where people participate are really needed - new users are often met with “news communities” which can be depressing if your whole feed consists of bad news.
Cool idea! And yeah we have already some similar communities:
!dailymaths@lemmy.world (bit quiet)
But not any for riddles specifically I think.
I’ve been actually really enjoying this one. It’s got some nice tools like zip/unzip which I recall are not possible actions in google’s filemanager.
Just putting here Invidious instance link, an alternative youtube frontend: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sCr_gb8rdEI
Edit: added a mention of what frontend
Activity on !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz has gone down since I haven’t had time to draw and I don’t really want to post requests without contributing myself so it doesn’t just look like a dead community. But there is atleast one post a week!
Will have to get back into it soon.
!languagelearning@sopuli.xyz’s weekly thread still gathers nice amount of commenters, so that’s a positive! I feel like people are too shy to ask questions there.
Well, atleast they explained how they “fixed” the problem.
Got to love those “all good, problem solved/went away” - posted 5 years ago
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
