Comment on lemsha.re - Lemmy shareable links

• Deebster@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  I wasn’t entirely serious, but…

  If memory serves, you just add lemmyverse.link/ after the https:// bit, so it’d be
  lemmyverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

  It looks like lemsha.re works similarly:
  lemsha.re/https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

  It’s a bit weird that it insists on the link being via https but then includes that in the url…

    None of these work in Raccoon (Android client).

      Same in Summit. I guess there needs to be a standard that everyone follows, because currently I have a client which automatically handles normal other-instance links, and these link helpers actively break it!

        These services are mainly relevant for PC/browser users. Apps should be able to resolve the original links to open them natively (at least Boost does that). And with Lemmy 1.0 coming up this will be in the codebase of Lemmy itself.

      Can reproduce and just shot the dev of Raccoon an email if we can do anything to fix it on our side. Love when this hopefully is all done within Lemmy natively and redirect services are not needed anymore.
