Looks like our crowdsourced load testing was successful in revealing several bugs lol
It’s not really a bug. All instances don’t contain everything from all other instances, so when someone links to something that is there on their instance, it works, but when someone sees that same post or comment on another instance that doesn’t have that thing yet, the link doesn’t work.
I made another comment explaining how to make it work.
Is it possible to make that work automatically without the user doing anything special?
Disregard. Just saw your response to a similar question below.
That’s exactly what they are!
When you get this, it means your instance doesn’t know what that relative link is supposed to lead to.
You’ll need the exact name in the
!name@instan.ceformat, or the url to that thing for the instance its on (on kbin you always have to use the full kbin url)Then, paste that into search on your instance, and this will make it “update the archives”. It can take a sec, it might say “no results” for like minute. But after its been done, the link should work!
it would be nice if Lemmy did this automatically when throwing the 404 error
In the future it likely will. There’s nothing that should prevent this, its just not there in the code yet. I know friendica is able link if you just type its name.
And for now, there’s more important stuff, like actual game-breaking bugs that need fixing.
Well i got served a language_not_allowed recently which had me feel excluded even tho it was the same language.
Fuck.
