    Yea post links on Lemmy are unfortunately really hard to deal with. There are discussions on how to fix it

    The current workarounds seem to be

    • use an app or browser extension to handle the link for you
    • link the instance and tell people to look for the post
    • use a third party service to generate instance agnostic links

    I use the first option for myself (Boost on mobile, InstanceAssistant on Desktop), but we really need a better solution

      Yeah. Probably one of the larger items that makes going between instances a pain in the ass. Once they all have decent apps it’ll probably be better but still. Maybe even if they could have it ask “Hey you clicked this link. Do you want to go there-there or here-there?”
