I deleted it moments after posting because I realised it wasnt what op was asking so idk how you saw it lol. As for the crashing, I also use jerboa and the instance agnostic links crashing it seem to be a bug

Omg I think I've got it. Ill test it by trying to link to the community I found it on, agnostically for anyone to click Edit: its hosted on lemmy.one, and so is my user so I cant test, anyone got results?
It's a good point, I hope alot of subreddits continue indefinitely like some have said they will. Although reddit is unlikely to change their decision, I'm happy with the result. If Lemmy stays even a fraction as active as it is now after the blackouts then Lemmy will be the better choice for me personally.
I didn't use Lemmy before because of how small it felt, but after the blackout every community is bursting with life and I can see Lemmy completely replacing reddit for me.
Hopefully enough refugees feel the same :)
Someone here please correct me if im wrong, but I dont think its possible yet. I just found this github issue discussing adding this feature
Next to that fediverse icon is a regular hyperlink icon, that should take you to where you wanna go, but on your own instance.
I2P is completely decentralized, while tor still has some centralization. When you start connecting to i2p your i2p router looks for the IP of a floodfill router, floodfill routers are other routers, just like yours, except they also have the responsibility of sharing other i2p routers they are aware of. Since any router can be a floodfill the network is harder to take down. Obviously i2p has to get the first floodfills ip somehow, and to do that i believe it does the exact same thing as tor, connect to a regular i2p run server and pickup the ips of some floodfills, however unlike tor, once your router becomes aware of other routers it becomes completely decentralized and P2P.
Meanwhile, tor has a centralized list of all the (public, aka not bridges) nodes that your browser uses to make the tunnel.
When you connect to an eepsite (I2Ps version of onionsite) your traffic will leave through an "outgoing tunnel" which consists of 3 (default, this is customizable) other i2p routers and then is passed onto the webservers "incoming tunnel". Every router has a set of incoming and outgoing tunnels which are used for communication, unlike tor where you have one tunnel that is established with the website and is used for both sending and receiving. When the website receives the traffic, it will respond on one of its "outgoing tunnels", which consists of a different set of random i2p routers and will send that traffic to one of your "incoming tunnels".
Because of this, a round trip for your connection consists of 12 nodes total making it far less possible for any participant to be identified, instead of tors 6 (6 for onionsites, 3 for clearweb)
This is the best graphic i can find to explain it since I feel ive not done I2P justice. This video does a much better job at explaining i2p and goes super in-depth.
:3
I knew about Lemmy before what happened with reddit, but didn't use it until then. So I know about the little quirks like that, but if people are gonna stay this really needs to be addressed. To the average user they don't understand why they've been logged out and just think Lemmy is buggy which is sad.
Thought this was a legit ad, you scared me for a minute lmao
While you wait for sh.itjust.works to sync all the comments, you can browse it on the other communities instance, find the comment you want to interact with, then right click the little rainbow icon next to the hyperlink icon, copy that link into sh.itjust.works' search bar and it will sync that comment immediately, letting you interact with it.
For example, if I found your comment on another instance and I wanted to reply, I would copy the link to it, go to my instance (lemmy.one) and paste the link which is: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/120320
Hacky solution ik but itll work until the user experience kinks are ironed out.
