Feature request: share link using currently logged in instance URL (lemmy.world)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

When sharing a post, the app defaults to using the URL from the home instance of the poster. I’d prefer to share the link as it exists from my home instance.

Can I ask what the benefits are?

Good question!

For me, personally, I like to share posts with my friends who are non-Lemmy users. I want to share the same domain with them every time so they start to get used to it and don’t have to wonder what this random site I sent them is.

Plus, I trust that lemmy.world will be fairly stable, so I shouldn’t have to worry too much about them getting an error when they try to open it.

Thanks, this sounds related to https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1056

I think somewhat, except instead of getting a lemmy.ml link for sharing a [email protected] link, I would like to get a lemmy.world link (since it’s my home instance).

Thank you so much for this app btw, you have been absolutely critical in breaking my Reddit habit, this app is amazing!

Edit: reading through the issue report, I think it’s related. Specifically it’s the option 1 you mention in your comment to the issue.

Glad you like Voyager :)

If you want to leave more information on the ticket that would be helpful too. I think it would be nice to have different share URL options available for people.

Sounds good, I’ll try to get some testing done to see what we might need to return from the API. Unfortunately I have no idea how to implement that in the app, but hopefully it’ll still be of help :)
