    Is there a way to add links to communities so that the domain part gets its data based on from where the end-user is viewing the website? For example if I view this finnish community that shows related communities on its sidebar, the links takes to their homeserver and I can’t subscribe from there https://vlemmy.net/c/[email protected]

    Instead the links on the sidebar should take to https://vlemmy.net/c/<community name>@<host> right?

      Yes, you can have links that work like that. They follow this structure: /c/[email protected]. A generalized link like that will work on any instance that has loaded that community before.

      Edit: I fixed my link.

        Your demonstration is not showing up on jerboa for lemmy app nor with mobile bromite browser. Everything that’s inside ()'s doesn’t show. I can see it after I click reply hmmm

        edit: works now thanks:) also I swear the sidebar links at that suomi community I mentioned didn’t use that way of linking before but now the links take me to vlemmy 👀
