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.

If you give me a link, I can update the comment

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).
