This doesn't pertain to your comment in particular, but it's the first time I've realized a pretty significant issue with lemmy. I'm browsing from kbin, but when I click your link, it loads the page on your instance rather than loading the content in my instance.
This is something we need to figure out, it shouldn't be too complicated for instances to rewrite links and open the content "locally". If I want to interact with the post you linked, I have to copy it, paste it into my instance's search bar, find the same post, and then open it.
That's a pretty far cry from the convenience of just clicking a link.
yeah. no kidding. i have another post out there decrying the same thing. and the maddening behaviour is maddeningly different between the web ui and apps. there are edges like this in mastodon but they don't seem as obvious or constant
I know you aren't using kbin, but I created this feature request for my instance/software (since kbin isn't lemmy, but still compatible with the protocol). Any other kbin users, feel free to check out the feature request and contribute to it!
This is an issue on Mastodon as well, and the way it was solved there was by adding a browser extension which did the rewriting.
It was something about the fact that those are completely different websites that can't talk to each other, I think.
You're not wrong, but kbin is early beta at this point. Personally I prefer it compared to the lemmy instances that I've visited, but it's still far from "done."
