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/[email protected], but someone from a.org ends up on a.com/c/[email protected]?

The best way is to use relative links, such as [email protected]
What I did there was simply
[[email protected]](/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.This will probably not work for those on Kbin, since their communities (magazines) don’t start with
/c/, but rather with/m/. If anyone knows a good way for this to work for both, I’d be glad to adopt that myself going forward.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?
[email protected]
It does, thank you!
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.
