    Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fediverse@lemmy.ml

      That’s gonna get old fast with an influx of non-lemmy instance users.

      Autofixing of those would be nice

        @rikodou@lemmings.world would it be possible to update this to only respond to users posting from a Lemmy or Kbin instance?

        We cam detect this at the moment by requesting /.well-known/nodeinfo.json and following the link in the href key

        https://lemmy.one/.well-known/nodeinfo

        https://lemmy.one/nodeinfo/2.0.json

        Kbin’s nodeinfo includes escape chars though, but I don’t think that would cause too much of a problem

        https://kbin.social/.well-known/nodeinfo

        Wonder if there is a library that could handle the detection part? I can try and contribute if one doesn’t exist

        Could also consider persisting the instance software to a local (sqlite?) database to save additional requests whenever a message comes in from a known instance
