How do I cross-post a comment?

I've found a comment that I like that I want to reference in another community for discussion.

The link (the chain icon) on the comment is https://lemmy.world/comment/2024416 but this url produces an empty page using the lemmy.world web app. using old.lemmy.world this does seem to work: https://old.lemmy.world/comment/2024416 -- is this bug in the default web app, something weird with my setup, or am I misunderstanding something?

edit: looking at the request/response in Firefox Web Developer tools i see what a 400 error coming from cloudflare. does anyone else see this?

There is no really good solution so far and the apps make the mess bigger.

There is an issue on Github about the topic of instance-agnostic links to a comment.

Until then, only instance-specific links exist.

I'm trying an instance-specific link, it isn't working.

I can reproduce it, but only with that one comment. Seems to be a bug. You can report it at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues

The chain icon should indeed work

I see a comment about hiking which is long and I never bothered to read it

Edit: I actually already read it last night now that I've looked at a little bit more than just the first word.

I see a comment about hiking too in Infinity.

On the website, there seems to be an issue indeed

For what it's worth, I'm using Sync and your links did the following for me:

  • Opened the comment in Sync as expected
  • Opened the comment but did it in an external browser

Hope that helps.
