Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !cats@lemmy.ca, !cats@lemmy.ca/1234444
Comment on Lemmy posts are starting to pop up on search results for Google (+ other search engines)
otter@lemmy.ca 10 months agoAt first I was thinking a GUID might be impossible because of federation, but a simple implementation might be the home instance’s post ID
So something like
Display lemmy.ca/c/cats/123444 for lemmy.ca/post/123444
Display lemmy.world/c/cats@lemmy.ca/1234444 for lemmy.world/post/98736

The point of random GUIDs is that there are so many that it’s effectively impossible to generate duplicates just by random chance. They’d be perfect for this.
The initial instance picks it, and then the federated instances use it.
