Comment on How to access a non .zip link through the .zip instance?

What I do is paste the entire foreign Lemmy instance post URL (like the ones in your post) into the search on my own instance. Lemmy seems to recognize that and return my local instance’s copy of that post as the first result. Try it out and see if it works for you. I ran into your post while browsing “new” by the way, I wasn’t visiting lemmy.zip.

Ah, that worked, or at least it worked through lemmy.zip but not old.lemmy.zip for some reason. I did need the entire URL as you said-- dropping the https:// turned up results with this thread and another one where the URL is linked, but not the original URL itself.

Great to hear! Not sure why it wouldn’t work in the alternative UI.
