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?

    More likely I’m not being clear enough. These links all have an instance hard coded into them so I can’t easily share them with people outside that instance. Right? Or am I not seeing something? What OP and I are looking for is a way to post a link to an individual submission on any instance that anyone can click on, regardless of their home instance, and be able to interact (this presumes their home instance and the target instance are federated, obviously).

      Oh, now I get it! Thanks for staying with me and explaining.

      That would be a nice feature indeed.
