if it is a link in your feed, hopefully the app handles this. the web browser interface for sh.itjust.works handles the URL properly to let you see the thread while remaining here, and comment like a damn fool!

the manual way:

take "https://lemmy.ml/c/whatever" if that is the link someone provided in a post...

navigate to "https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]"

you'll notice that you're still "here" on sh.it, but seeing what is hosted "there" on lemmy.ml.

for example:

click https://www.beehaw.org/c/technology.

now click https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

It feels great getting that team's first chip. Congrats, Nuggs!

well, if you want to feed the current drama and reach those folks, you can always follow these instructions to delete your existing comments and posts, and replace them with a description on how to do the same:

for special children like me, how do we use such a thing? I'm guessing a browser plugin of some sort?

Thanks for taking the effort to make this place feel like our old, abusive, but still comfortable, home. :)

Scarre-bear? lol. Welcome!

I'm jealous! I haven't been able to but, now with more knowledge, I'll give it another go

If it works for you, keep doing it!

It would be awesome to just search "pancakes" in jerboa, and see the pancake communities in all the instances. Or even if I know [email protected] exists, to go search it outright from jerboa.

We're on a mission to learn!

It would be nice if this was configurable. Or maybe someone enterprising can write a script to do some searching now, while our usage is low, and the number of external communities is also low.

I know as things start to get really high usage, and the number of Lemmy instances grows, and communities per instance grow, that it might be untenable. But at least for this early onboarding process where we expect a lot of new users, it would be cool to give them a soft landing experience

And through it all, the Dude abides.

Thanks for hosting, thanks for the expertise, thanks for the response time!
