I know I can link communities in other instances by typing, for example, [email protected] instead of https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] , and the link will open in the correct instance for anyone, even people not using lemmy.world.

Is there a way to do the same with posts? For example, this post has a URL of https://lemmy.world/post/1421688, but is there a way to format this so it would link to the correct post for someone on any instance, and not just lemmy.world?

    Thanks. Longer-term it might be nice to see links to both communities and posts get auto-replaced with instance-agnostic versions - with some sort of escape to skip that behavior. I’ve already seen a bot going around detecting when instances are improperly linked.
