Hi all!
So, I’m assuming everyone has seen links like https://beehaw.org/c/news and clicked through to find it doesn’t work right because it’s a different site (I’m assuming a different instance here).
Well, I just stumbled across an interesting feature: if you enter a link in the following format, it works for everyone regardless of instance of origin:
[News](/c/news@beehaw.org)
[My User](/u/barbarian@lemmy.reckless.dev)
You’re welcome!
If you’re trying to find communities, you’d use the communities page or search function. You can filter both to only local (on this server) or all (any server this one hasn’t blocked).
The settings page lets you select which languages you see. I think posts and communities that are set to a language you haven’t selected aren’t shown, so if you have Undetermined, German, and English selected, a post or community that’s marked as being in French is hidden. That could be a little confusing I suppose - maybe the language filter should be disabled by default.
