Open in browser not working?
I just tried to see a post from the feddit.cl instance using the open in browser option, but the browser loaded a lemmy.world link instrad. Is that working as intended or a weird hiccup?
For reference, this is the original post on the propper instance:
And this is the link that the app sent me to:
https://lemmy.world/post/3097016
Now that I see it more clearly, the OP is from lemmy.world but the community’s instance is feddit.cl, could that be the reason? I’m still figuring out how the whole federation thing exactly works on lemmy (I’m more used to Mastodon, thought that’s a lot more straightforward).
This is the normal way federation functions. You would get similar results using the link or post share feature of the web version of Lemmy.
For example, this thread’s link is shared from my web interface as https://sh.itjust.works/post/2774802 because I am logging in from sh.itjust.works.
This is correct, I’m linking to the ap_id from the API which I believe stands for “ActivityPub ID” (I can’t say for certain because it’s undocumented)
This is where the post originated from before it was federated.
Perhaps I should add two links: one that opens on your instance, and one that opens the original post?
What’s your use-case for wanting it on your insurance?
