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.

Honestly not sure how the info about its existence would have reached me. Other than being part of every lemmy instance sign up form maybe. Or might have stumbled upon a mention on the https://join-lemmy.org/ home page. Endorsement there would be awesome.

There are browser extensions that offer similar functionality on a personal level - but even those I only tried after.

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
