Hi all,
I’d hereby like to announce lmmy.to, an instance-aware redirector for Lemmy that allows you to directly link people to Lemmy communities on their own instance.
As an example, try https://lmmy.to/c/lemmy@lemmy.ml.
I’ve created !lmmy_to@derp.foo to discuss it. There’s also a FAQ.
Edit: I’ve resolved the 500 error people were getting.
Is this really necessary with v18 having this built-in?
Yes, because not every link is on Lemmy itself.
Ah, but of course. That’s great!
