It makes it very hard to share lemmy and get more friends involved when I can’t actually link the main instance :(

    It would be nice if it was simpler way to find alternate URLs for a given post on a federated instance, which would make it easy to circumvent domain bans elsewhere when sharing a link

    For instance, this post has this URL here on lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/175984

    I can manually edit the URL for the community it is in to go from https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support to https://lemmygrad.ml/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and then browse around there to find this post, and now I know that the lemmygrad URL for this post is https://lemmygrad.ml/post/131812 - but is there not an easier way?

    This is also an issue when I discover a lemmy post on another instance via an external link. Before I can comment on the post, I have to go through the above process to find the URL for it on this instance where I have an account.
