lemsha.re - Lemmy shareable links

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/59380380

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.

Is there a browser extension to do this automatically?
- !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca, not sure if the project is still updated
Hey this is pretty cool. But why not lemmyverse.link? (or threadiverse.link for piefed users)

Edit: I checked it out more, this is very cool. Codeberg, incoming mbin support, shorter link... I think i'll use this now ;) Thank you for sharing, asudox!

  You missed a great opportunity to use lemshare/lemmyverse here
- Maybe because -verse is sort of cringe imo. Also it’s shorter!
  
  Yeah -verse has been beaten to death xd
  
  I think a more neutral, non lemmy centric name would've been better but i don't think mbin/piefed devs mind too much. its a cool project after all :)
Sha're

Indeed.
While neat, it isn't very useful without automatic redirects and opengraph support. Both are not optimal to do as a vue app. Doable if nuxt and the nuxt-og-image module is used.
How awesome thank you!
Thanks, crossposted to !fediverse@piefed.social for wider reach
