Lets say someone sent me a link to this post on lemmy.ml.
If I click the little federation-link-hexagon-thing button I’m redirected to the same post but on OPs home instance of feddit.uk.
Is there a way to jump to the post on my home instance instead?
The post number differs between instances, so you can’t just replace the instance in the URL.
I tried doing something similar to how community URLs work:
{remote_instance}/post/{post_number}

{home_instance}/post/{post_number}@{remote_instance}
But it don’t seem to work…
I know you’re supposed to browse things from your home instance, but people sometimes link posts in the comments and the only way I found to interact with them is to go back and manually search for them from my instance.

    finding out that it’s broken for everyone, and not just you, is almost as comforting as finding the solution.
