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 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.

How awesome thank you!

Hey this is pretty cool. But why not lemmyverse.link? (or threadiverse.link for piefed users)

Edit: I checked it out more, this is very cool. Codeberg, incoming mbin support, shorter link… I think i’ll use this now ;) Thank you for sharing, asudox!

You missed a great opportunity to use lemshare/lemmyverse here

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 01 Apr 06:59 collapse

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

Deebster@programming.dev on 01 Apr 08:49 collapse

I wasn’t entirely serious, but…

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

It looks like lemsha.re works similarly:
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…

Updated the comment above!

None of these work in Raccoon (Android client).

smeg@feddit.uk on 01 Apr 12:27 next collapse

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.

Can reproduce and just shot the dev of Raccoon an email if we can do anything to fix it on our side. Love when this hopefully is all done within Lemmy natively and redirect services are not needed anymore.

Maybe because -verse is sort of cringe imo. Also it’s shorter!

fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 01 Apr 01:02 collapse

Yeah -verse has been beaten to death xd

I think a more neutral, non lemmy centric name would’ve been better but i don’t think mbin/piefed devs mind too much. its a cool project after all :)

ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com on 01 Apr 02:05 collapse

What about Lembinp.ie

fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 01 Apr 02:15 collapse

Wait till i drop fxomtpie, we’ll need to fit that into the link!

joyjoy@lemm.ee on 31 Mar 22:20 next collapse

While neat, it isn’t very useful without automatic redirects and opengraph support. Both are not optimal to do as a vue app. Doable if nuxt and the nuxt-og-image module is used.

Thanks, crossposted to !fediverse@piefed.social for wider reach

ms_lane@lemmy.world on 01 Apr 06:52 next collapse

Sha’re

Indeed.

Lemmchen@feddit.org on 01 Apr 21:54 collapse

Is there a browser extension to do this automatically?

!instance_assistant@lemmy.ca, not sure if the project is still updated
