    There needs to be a way to link to a post in an instance agnostic way.

    For example, this post is in [email protected] and the id is 1255605, but that id number won’t work on any other instance.

    If someone shares a link with me like https://lemmy.ml/post/1255605 that will take me to lemmy.ml, where I’m not logged in. If I have an account on lemmy.world then the only way for me to comment on this post is to navigate to lemmy.world/c/[email protected] manually and then literally look at the feed to find this post. It’s a pain in the butt for new / current threads but will be a huge pain for older threads.
