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]?

Some day there will be a standard link style… for now it seems like a huge mess :'D The ! doesn’t work on kbin (for me, at least), nor do links with c/ where we use m/, but the @-link does, which is neat considering I’d not found any short link style that did until seeing that one :'D Seems like others think the !-link is the thing to do, some give absolute links, some try other things besides. Growing pains, teething issues… might as well say “wheee” while the ride’s still bumpy .
I did some investigation into this in https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/199, but stopped short of actually fixing it or spinning up an instance to investigate further, as just didn’t really have the time and energy (and haven’t yet).
Fixing the
!links probably isn’t too hard, but I’m not one to try anything without being able to run it. And really there should be an alias for /c/. I haven’t used Symfony so can’t tell if it’s as easy as I hoped. I’ve had countless times where I thought something would be easy but it turned out hard and vice versa…
