lemsha.re - Lemmy shareable links (lemsha.re)

Hey 👋,

I got frustrated with the friction for users from direct links to all the different instances they don't have accounts for and built https://lemsha.re/

It's inspired by matrix.to - but built for Lemmy content.

If a user clicks a lemsha.re link the user will be presented with two options:

visit the original link, or

view the same content - but on their preferred instance

Hope you find it useful.

I wasn't entirely serious, but...

If memory serves, you just add lemmyverse.link/ after the https:// bit, so it'd be
https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

It looks like lemsha.re works similarly:
https://lemsha.re/https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

It's a bit weird that it insists on the link being via https but then includes that in the url...

None of these work in Raccoon (Android client).

Same in Summit. I guess there needs to be a standard that everyone follows, because currently I have a client which automatically handles normal other-instance links, and these link helpers actively break it!

These services are mainly relevant for PC/browser users. Apps should be able to resolve the original links to open them natively (at least Boost does that). And with Lemmy 1.0 coming up this will be in the codebase of Lemmy itself.
