What is this called? A banglink?
Anyway, I want to banglink a post.
I know I can banglink a community: [email protected]
But what about for this post?
https://aussie.zone/post/132034
I tried several different ways but none worked:
!aussie.zone/post/132034
!aussie.zone/c/environment/post/132034
[email protected]/post/132034
!environment/post/[email protected]
As far as I’m aware hotlinking posts is only possible for the same instance - ie. the link will only work for everyone on your instance.
[This link will only work for aussie.zone users](/post/937401) -> This link will only work for aussie.zone users
[This link will only work for lemmy.cafe users](/post/298024) - > This link will only work for lemmy.cafe users
They both point to the same post, but because of how instances sync content the IDs are different. I suspect global hotlinking is in the works, but probably not a priority, yet.
