documentation for lemmy link types?
Is there anywhere that lemmy's various types of internal links are documented? like !community links @user links, links of the form https://lemmy.com/c/[email protected]. i have also seen links that just have "/c/[email protected]"... at the moment i'm only developing rendering code for them as i happen upon them, which is ad-hoc
I don't know of any documentation off the top of my head but currently there's
User links:
@[email protected]These will translate to
https://<your instance>/u/[email protected]assuming your not on lemmy.word. If you are it will just behttps://lemmy.word/u/marsara9.And community links:
[email protected]These will follow the same pattern but will have /c/ instead of /u/.
There's been proposals to add others but that's all that exists at the moment.
thanks for clarifying, so i guess my other link type is an error on my end somewhere...
The one that begins with https is obviously just a full URL and will take the user directly to that instance rather than staying on their home instance. And the one that starts with /c/ is a relative path. While it might work, if the community/user it points to is on the same server as the user, they might encounter errors as it might try and navigate to
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]which is undefined (may or may not work).yeah, the relative ones are always on another instance it seems. if you strip the '/c/' you can hit the '/community' endpoint with the '[email protected]' part as the name parameter and it returns the community_view for it. works fine.
