I read somewhere that lemmy is planning to edit links so that they point to your instance, how will this be handled? (lemm.ee)

Will it just edit the link to point to a server's local copy of a post? Will it use ap:// links, or some other fancy type (for example !comm@instance/post or similar.)?

You can read up on the conversation on the GitHub issue here.

TL;DR: the current system on the (unreleased) 1.0 codebase is that your Lemmy instance will replace all Lemmy URLs in posts/comments with the equivalent URLs on your own instance. In the issue I linked, some concerns are raised about this system and various other options are discussed. It’s possible that the way it works will change before Lemmy 1.0 is released.
