I just got a PR merged today that might help with this. I’ll start experimenting with it more over the next week or so.
Basic theory is that I can detect at least lemmy posts in the comment bodies and then rewrite those to your local instance. Primarily question is going to be performance, as remote network calls will be necessary.
Can you elaborate more on what exactly you’re looking for?
There are docker containers for nzbget and sabnzb, two download clients… But I’m not sure if that’s what you’re after.
Assuming the fediverse becomes mainstream one thing I hope to actually see is that existing company forums start to join the fediverse.
Think if you no longer needed to login to EA’s website to post about bugs to the Sims. Or if Prusa’s 3d printer community forums could also be found right here… Or any other existing community help forum.
The problem though is, that in order to get there, Meta and others have to bring the users and essentially show the way first.
Ya if it’s not federated already, I’m thinking the link will just remain as-is? Then comes the question of what happens after federation is complete? Ideally I’m thinking to do these rewrites as the comment containing the link gets federated so it only happens once, but that prevents updates… If I do it during someone looking at the post, then that becomes a lot of network traffic…
Still a lot to plan out initially and then propose to the devs for feedback… So it’ll be awhile still.
