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.
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
