Ideally what I’d love is if posts worked like communities. For example you can navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and you’ll be taken to the community page on Lemmy.world. But if we could link to something like https://lemmy.world/p/1543053@lemmy.ml and land on a particular post, that would make having to do a lookup completely pointless.
There is some good and some bad news for this. They are aware of this problem, and are having discussions to change it. But I don’t know when it is coming. And I agree that a lookup would be useless if we can simply create the url directly.
Ooh nice, and it is also available on chrome.
Yeah a browser extension could be a good alternative. I was initially hoping to use a website based tool so that it could work regardless of the users platform / browser. And specifically mobile.
Oh wow, that’s also a huge undertaking! It is kinda sad that the api/v3/resolve_object
endpoint was working without auth before the 0.18 release. Maybe I can see if we can get an api endpoint specifically for this? Without needing auth and without returning all the post information that we aren’t interested in.
You cannot really do this yet, the closest thing is taking the federated url and using the search function of your instance. Which, I think, only works if the content is already federated.
I’m slowly working on a website that can do this automatically, by using the API to look up the content on your instance of choice
Not on lemmy.ml myself either but since the reddit protest has started there are probably a lot of people looking for alternatives. The question is, are they staying or is it just temporary
Hopefully you’ll also be able to ‘place’ the spatial keyboard on a surface, and that way still kinda getting physical feedback
If your instance is running version 0.18 you can type /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml to link to this sub.
So
