What is this called? A banglink?

Anyway, I want to banglink a post.

I know I can banglink a community: !environment@aussie.zone

But what about for this post?

https://aussie.zone/post/132034

I tried several different ways but none worked:

!aussie.zone/post/132034

!aussie.zone/c/environment/post/132034

!environment@aussie.zone/post/132034

!environment/post/132034@aussie.zone

As far as I'm aware hotlinking posts is only possible for the same instance - ie. the link will only work for everyone on your instance.

[This link will only work for aussie.zone users](/post/937401) -> This link will only work for aussie.zone users

[This link will only work for lemmy.cafe users](/post/298024) - > This link will only work for lemmy.cafe users

They both point to the same post, but because of how instances sync content the IDs are different. I suspect global hotlinking is in the works, but probably not a priority, yet.
