The only reason it does that is because the lesswrong editor is doing something funky with the link. I have fixed it by opening the post on lesswrong and setting the link straight then saving it via the lesswrong editor.
I don’t understand how that happens. Do you have insight into what the editor is doing? I’m already struggling to create several links backwards and forwards. It’s just really painful to cross post.
The greaterwrong editor is changing all links to greaterwrong to go to LessWrong, if I remember correctly. (And on the display side makes it so that all links to LW are displayed as links to greaterwrong, to prevent unnecessary site transitions)
You don’t want to work on it. GW’s Saturn doesn’t want to work on it (as far as I understand)… Why am I making a github issue? So far as I can tell it’s my problem and I can’t do anything about it unless I learn to code it myself.
Ah, I didn’t know Saturn doesn’t want to work on it. This happening has nothing to do with the LessWrong code, so there is nothing I can do about it. Would be happy to fix were it in my control, but our server just receives a batch of HTML that no longer has any greaterwrong links in it.
(Your greaterwrong link goes to LW)

Yes. That’s exhaustingly frustrating when trying to standardise links. I just have to do it the hard way.
It might make sense to create an issue about this on the greaterwrong github.
