This is contrary to what the Fediverse is about.
[!risa@startrek.website](/c/risa@startrek.website)
is already unique and an identifier to universally refer to that community. It automatically links tohttps://your-instance-URL/c/risa@startrek.website
which makes absolute sense, because you have an account on your instance.If you want to visit
[!risa@startrek.website](/c/risa@startrek.website)
just open the link with your instance. Either by using the URL or by cop&pasting the URL into the search field, or by something like lemmy Link in your browser.I can understand how this doesn’t really fit well with the decentralised paradigm. I personally am more than proficient enough to deal with such shortcomings. However, it’s still a drag, and many other people will be scared away because of it.
