Comment on mememaker
e0qdk@kbin.social 1 year agoThat's exactly how I wrote the community links in my original post on kbin though. i.e. the literal text I posted for the first sentence is: I was introduced to the boykisser/girlkisser meme over in !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone recently, and today the power of memes compelled me to make this. I think something is not getting translated correctly when sending the message from kbin to lemmy. Maybe kbin is converting it to a link first and then sending that to lemmy instead of the literal text of my comment?
Related to linking, is there a syntax for instance-relative post linking? (Or even just a good recommendation for how to link threads without driving people insane?)

Yeah, it must be a kbin/lemmy translation issue then. I think you are right in that kbin is parsing it as a link, and then lemmy is writing that out with link markdown. So, it seems as though the syntax just won’t work for kbin users (at least you won’t get notifications from the bot each time you do it since you are on kbin).
I wish there was a way to link to things in an instance-agnostic way, but unfortunately that is not possible yet (open github issue).
