So I know about /c/community@example.host for communities and /u/user@example.host for users, but how do I link to individual posts in a way that won’t be a hassle for people in other instances?

    So we’ve figured out what the rainbow and regular link icons do. But that doesn’t answer OP’s question.

    I’ve tried linking with just the /post/<ID>, linking with /post<ID>@<instance>, and no luck so far. This must be possible somehow!

        Problem is posts have a different ID on each instance they federate to. It’s a bit of a bugger.

          It seems dumb to me that the fediverse doesn’t use UUIDs
