If your instance is running version 0.18 you can type /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml to link to this sub.

So /c/community@instance.

(Sorry for replying to your root comment, your reply isn't showing on my instance)

Ideally what I’d love is if posts worked like communities. For example you can navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and you’ll be taken to the community page on Lemmy.world. But if we could link to something like https://lemmy.world/p/1543053@lemmy.ml and land on a particular post, that would make having to do a lookup completely pointless.

There is some good and some bad news for this. They are aware of this problem, and are having discussions to change it. But I don't know when it is coming. And I agree that a lookup would be useless if we can simply create the url directly.

Ooh nice, and it is also available on chrome.

Yeah a browser extension could be a good alternative. I was initially hoping to use a website based tool so that it could work regardless of the users platform / browser. And specifically mobile.

Oh wow, that's also a huge undertaking! It is kinda sad that the api/v3/resolve_object endpoint was working without auth before the 0.18 release. Maybe I can see if we can get an api endpoint specifically for this? Without needing auth and without returning all the post information that we aren't interested in.
