Shareable links for Lemmy (inspired by matrix.to) (lemsha.re)

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.

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.

I like that. Will pick it up for the next update.

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

URLs are now prettier - while being fully backwards compatible to the initial path structure.

Edit: Also handling invalid URLs more gracefully now
