A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What's the correct way to link to a community on a different instance? (feddit.de)

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/x@y.org, but someone from a.org ends up on a.com/c/x@y.org?

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...
