Similarly, any way to quickly switch to viewing a linked post on my instance if it’s linked through another?
Paste the post URL in your instance search bar.
Ah, I see. Thanks!
You're welcome. It's a bit finicky to be honest 😄
Considering what brought me here, I'll take finicky over maliciously designed any day. :)
Sounds good, welcome by the way!
You're probably looking for https://lemmyverse.link/
Oh this is nice. Thanks for sharing!
Is there a way this kind of thing could be worked into lemmy as a feature?
Oh, that's really cool! Thanks
On Lemmy it always translates a link to a post into your own instance.
!peertube@lemmy.wtf will use Lemmy.wtf for me because that’s my instance.
However, on external sites it’s an issue. Here the link it always static. You can install an addon that automatically redirects you to your own Lemmy instance. I have this on Firefox.
It's not instance agnostic because the thread lives on the instance of the author. But links in this format: https://lemm.ee/post/57428587 can be put in the search field on any instance and will return the proper post.
cooooool mbin automatically formats it to a local link: 
must be new in v1.80
Oh great!
Yes, it's a great feature
That's cool indeed! If it doesn't get in the way with too many links in a post
And smart clients/UIs like tesseract realise that the link is to a remote lemmy instance, and then give you the option of viewing it remotely or from your own instances perspective
There is a website that will redirect to the post on your instance but it looks like I did not bookmark it. I expect someone else will chime in with it.
