That was kind of my point though - for communities there is a generic link that all apps/web interfaces can recognize and take you to the community on your instance.
Yes, but as of now the lemmy developers don’t know how to implement this for posts and comments. So as of now, the only solution is for front ends to rewrite the URL when a user clicks on it. The way voyager does this is by checking the list of instances federated with yours, and if the link is to an instance federated with yours, it finds the comment or post in your instance and changes the link to that one before taking you to it.
