I believe the devs have said they're working on making that work more automatically. Like having it happen as soon as a user clicks a link to it for the first time on your server. And also making links to communities outside your home instance automatically be changed so that it keeps you on your instance where you're logged in.
For example right now if someone on BeeHaw.org clicks https://lemmy.ml/c/memes, it'll take them to lemmy.ml where they're not logged in. They should add /c/ tags like /r/ on reddit, and when someone on BeeHaw clicks something like /c/memes@lemmy.ml, it should take them to beehaw.org/c/memes@lemmy.ml so they can stay signed in and comment/vote/post. You can do this manually right now by creating a link like so:
[/c/memes@lemmy.ml](/c/memes@lemmy.ml)
@ernest could this work on kbin as well?
AFAIK, it does. But the url structure is slightly different. Instead of
https://kbin.social/c/memes@lemmy.ml
It would be
https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml
with an “m” instead of a “c”.I’m still learning, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
It would be awesome for it to convert https://lemmy.ml/c/memes into https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml automatically.
For real. I feel like I recall a browser extension doing something similar for Mastodon. But I don’t have the coding knowledge to adapt that to this use case.
Interesting, I might look into modifying the extension for it to work with kbin
Sweet! I would be interested, and might be able to help test. Let me know if something comes of it.
Nice, I got it working with this type of mention !communityname@instance.domain. But I want to see if I can convert the link form too, I will probably make a post once is done.
