Feature: integrate instance agnostic link sharing service

Open graphit0 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

What do you want to see? Integrate https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link / https://lemmyverse.link/ i.e. instance agnostic link sharing service

Use Case Instance agnostic links simplify sharing content outside of fediverse Suppose you come across a link to lemmy post on non-native instance. Like that https://lemmy.world/post/7284890

How do you open it? Let's face it, searching in your home instance with post name is very inconvenient Instance agnostic links address this problem example of instance agnostic link https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/7284890

After clicking this link you can set your home instance and the post will be opened there

Why

  • improve discoverability of Lemmy Explorer since a lot of links going to be pointing to it
  • allow users to rely on home instance they set on Lemmy Explorer while redirected by instance agnostic link

I have no affiliation to the service, I simply like to use it
