Say I want to link to community x on instance y.org. How do I post this so that someone from instance z.org will end up at z.com/c/x@y.org, but someone from a.org ends up on a.com/c/x@y.org?

The best way is to use relative links, such as !technology@beehaw.org

What I did there was simply [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This link doesn't start with the protocol and site, but instead assumes the current site, and starts with /c/my_comunity@my_site.tld, meaning it will be routed to the same instance.

In my phone, for some reason, Jerboa crashes when I tap your link.

That's a known bug in Jerboa. It's already been reported and the dev acknowledged it.

For kbin at least, there's currently a Firefox add-on that adds an icon next to any full or relative links that sends them to the corresponding kbin magazine version of the lemme community.

So if I copy the pink text it should work if I understand correctly?

!technology@beehaw.org

It does, thank you!

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
