If I find a link to a conversation on another Lemmy instance, I can just throw the URL of that into the search on my own instance and I'll get directed to a link that works on my instance.

It seems, however, that if the conversation is hosted in a piefed instance instead of lemmy instance, such a conversion using the search tool is not possible.

Could that feature please be added? There are anyways sometimes links to conversations on Piefed instances, and it's not really visible for a random Lemmy user that it's on a different type of platform.

Lemmy will fulfill the search requests on behalf of other servers

Yep so does PieFed but Lemmy doesn't accept it for some reason.
