If I find a link to a conversation on another Lemmy instance, I can just throw the URL of that into the search on my own instance and I’ll get directed to a link that works on my instance.
It seems, however, that if the conversation is hosted in a piefed instance instead of lemmy instance, such a conversion using the search tool is not possible.
Could that feature please be added? There are anyways sometimes links to conversations on Piefed instances, and it’s not really visible for a random Lemmy user that it’s on a different type of platform.
I was sure that I had done just that, so just tested:
I cannot get that to work. I tried this link: https://piefed.europe.pub/post/35873 . And no. Nothing.
You’re using the wrong URL for searching
it’s https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/53225502
Lemmy will fulfill the search requests on behalf of other servers so that normally works, but it seems PieFed does not do that so it’s a bit more strict
Thank you!

Yep so does PieFed but Lemmy doesn’t accept it for some reason.
Keep in mind, Lemmy requires you to be logged in for it to pull from remote servers
