One thing I don’t understand about Lemmy is, how do you do stuff across instances? For example I’m on Lemmy.world, but clicking a link to that sub Lemmy takes me to Lemmy.ml, where I’m obviously not logged on. How am I expected to interact with that community?
Edit: I was able to find and post this comment by manually typing in the address into the URL, which surely isn’t how this is supposed to work
Ideally users shouldn’t paste the whole url into a link, like https://lemmy.ml/c/fuck_cars but just /c/[email protected] because the second link shows you the same community, but stays within your own instance so you’re still logged in.
However, I think there is also some work being done to make it so tha this correction is done automatically.
