Links between instances often don't work as intended, and there's no good way to redirect me from some-other-instance.pub/c/cool-community to my-instance.pub/c/[email protected] automatically.

You should check out https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fediredirect/. This works for redirecting both communities and posts, although the latter requires to give your log in credentials to the extension.

Looks nice. Some us browse on mobile though.

I also mainly browse on mobile haha. However loading posts from my home instance is often taken care of by the app (client).

Thanks, Iโ€™ll try it out!

This is something we have a workaround on an extension I'm working on. You can right-click on a link and have it open in your home instance
