Hi all,

I’d hereby like to announce lmmy.to, an instance-aware redirector for Lemmy that allows you to directly link people to Lemmy communities on their own instance.

As an example, try https://lmmy.to/c/lemmy@lemmy.ml.

I’ve created !lmmy_to@derp.foo to discuss it. There’s also a FAQ.

Edit: I've resolved the 500 error people were getting.

It would be nice if the welcome page would tell you what community it will be redirecting you too. Right now it looks like something hijacked my browser; I don’t really trust it.

Also, I got error 500 after entering my hostname.

And it might take some effort. But if you had a searchable select box populated with a master list of instances, that might be pretty cool.

In the end, training everyone to make lmmy.to urls when they reference a community may be too difficult. This needs to be a builtin feature of the lemmi web ui somehow.

Yeah, it needs some styling. Which is not my thing really. Anyone want to help?

I got error 500 after entering my hostname.

Huh, now it’s doing the same for me too. Yet it worked when I tried it before.

Edit: fixed now. I seem to have accidentally re-introduced a bug somewhere in the process of launching the site.
