When scrolling on Lemmy I often stumble on links from people that don’t use community syntax (!c@server).
It would be appreciated for those thinks to be rewritten automatically to avoid the browser opening, and instead staying in Voyager.
Implementation could be tough though: do you need to prefetch the page, parse it and check somehow that it’s a Lemmy community? Or have a list of known servers to rewrite those links? Both could prove tedious to maintain.
You must log in or register to comment.
They should already
It doesn’t seem to happen for link posts though. This commonly happens in the new communities community: https://lemm.ee/post/2081675
Yes, posts and comment link support is coming, I believe there’s a github issue for that :)
I meant a link post whose link is a community. I added a comment to the issue that’s hopefully clearer.
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: [email protected]
Oh damn
Somehow it didn’t work when I posted. So I assume links to posts in communities should work as well?
I’m probably in the minority here, but can this functionality be disabled? I’d rather have the links open as linked, unless the
!community@instanceformat is used.EDIT: I should specify: I’d like to be able to disable this functionality, not have it disabled completely for everyone 😅
if a bot can do it, then surely an app can do it. weirdly right now i can only post this reply in landscape on my iphone and not portrait view.
