    You’re missing the point. You should never leave your home instance. Lemmy could automatically remap links to whatever your home instance is before you ever click on them.

      Some UIs do, I have Tesseract on mine and it rewrites the links for me.

      That doesn’t solve sharing a link on Matrix/Discord/Google or wherever. I rarely have this issue on Lemmy itself, but whenever I get a link from elsewhere, that’s when I need to be able to open it on my home instance so I can interact with it.

      Same deal with Mastodon. You’re reading some news, it links so the dev’s Mastodon, you need a way to open it in your home instance.

      There’s no fixing that.

        This is what that looks like on a good Lemmy frontend:

        I forgot the default UI didn’t do that. Both Tesseract and Boost handle those mostly just fine.
