Share comment URL incorrect... (lemmy.world)

I shared a comment via the share option (to email a list of plugins for my browser that someone posted) and the link shared was this:

https://lemmy.world/comment/2874575

But I'm getting an error and I think the problem is that the post/comment were on a different Lemmy instance other than .world?

Not sure if this is a voyager thing or a lemmy.world thing... anyone have any idea? (Also, is there any way I can find out where exactly that post lives? There was a search result clean up plugin that looked super promising to me.

I’m on lemm.ee, running the iOS TestFlight version of voyager. Here is what I get when I use the “…” menu to share a comment on this post:

https://lemmy.world/comment/2894198

Edit: yep, same issue for me. When I got to safari and go to the url, It wants to download something instead of going to the comment.

Edit 2: this doesn’t appear to be a voyager specific issue. I navigated to this comment in safari while logged out of lemmy - so directly on lemmy.world. If I press the link button on a comment (next to the user name), it opens the comment as expected. BUT if I try to use the url it took me to, I get the “download” issue.

Edit 3: I tried the same thing on a lemm.ee comment and didn’t have an issue on initial testing. My assumption is that this is, indeed, a lemmy.world problem.

Thank you! I'll bother them about it.

I believe this is a lemmy.world-specific configuration issue. Have you tried reaching out to the admins?

[-] Chenzo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have not. I will... I wonder if there's a r/lemmyworldhelp

thank you!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !support@lemmy.world

I get this on Sync. I send my friend (who also has Sync) the link and they've told me I have to share images directly. I'm not sure if the platforms communicate
