Nice tip, thank you. Still fumbling my way around…
Comment on Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children
TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 year agoFYI, you can make an instance agnostic link just by typing /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml.

No worries. A couple other things:
/c/community@instance
and@community@instance
will work for communities./u/user@instance
is instance agnostic but will not generate a mention to the user’s inbox.[linktext](http://instance/u/user)
will link to the user’s instance only, but it sends a mention to them. You can also do this by starting to type@user@instance
and selecting the user from the dropdown box (on the website, not necessarily in apps).- The different apps for lemmy don’t necessarily always work correctly in line with the website, but they’ll catch up.
- Each post is actually primarily hosted at that user’s instance, then federated from there. So if you’re a lemmy.world user and post in a lemmy.ml community, your post will actually post at lemmy.world first and then federate. It isn’t necessarily hosted in the community’s instance. The same is true for every comment - hence why you won’t see comments from users in an instance yours isn’t federated with, even if they are federated with the post’s instance and can comment in the thread.
- You can’t really do anything with posts or comments to jump across instances, as each instance assigns a different number to the same content. Hopefully one day they’ll change it so the url is more like
http://instance/post/123456@hostinstance
in everywhere but the federated host instance. But it’s all still in early development.

Doesn’t work for me. @SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml does though
