For example, this comment links to another community on another instance, but when clicked on, you’re not actually able to interact with anything on that community, because you’re suddenly not logged in.
It’s doesn’t function like linking to a subreddit, and I understand that that’s because of federation, but is there a better way of doing this? It seems… very stupid that linking to a page would suddenly “log you out” for all intents and purposes, while searching that same community wouldn’t.
Does this make sense?
Here’s the first statement on this new feature that I saw: https://zemmy.cc/comment/119470. Presumably they know more about the feature and who developed it.
I also suspect this link will demonstrate your point!
Looks like there’s no way to create an instance agnostic link to any specific comments. Here’s my link for that same comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/378249, meanwhile the post instance’s link: https://lemmy.ml/comment/912298, however yours is apparently the federated host link as that user is based in zemmy.cc.
