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.

Thanks for creating it! But I’m confused about what is the difference from https://lemmyverse.link/ ? Additionaly are there plans for adding Mbin support? (It uses m/ instead of c/ and has distinct API)

+1 for using Codeberg 🫡
Nice! Sure, I have a Codeberg account so why not
You could also take inspiration from how Lemmyverse.link does it, because it supports Mbin - https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link

Hah. Did not know about lemmyverse.link
I guess we should promote it more

It is used from time to time, in a few communities sidebars for instance.
The thing is that most of the time people are just going to use another instance link without going through a third party tool to make it instance agnostic
The developers of Mlem were also unaware of the tool until I brought it up with them then they raced to implement it haha
I’m surprised that the form insists on the link being via https (that’s a Lemmy requirement, right?) but then includes https:// in the output url. Why not have links be https://lemsha.re/lemm.ee/post/59380380? atm that just gives a console error, but you could just set https when parsing.

Sounds good. Remember to still support the old httpsy style!

I’d always have to set my instance and click at least once to be redirected. It would be more comfortable being redirected automatically.
