Is there a solution to links from different instances? (lemmy.world)

This is a more general federated social media question, but posts often have links to content on instances other than the one I have an account with. For example, this post has links to beehaw.org posts. When I click on them, I am unable to vote on or comment on anything, because I don't have an account on beehaw.org.

Is there a Chrome extension or some other solution that would redirect these posts to my preferred lemmy instance?

The latest version of Jerboa crashes for me any time I tap such a link. Really frustrating.

Anyway, either the client or underlying framework really needs to rewrite URLs to be relative to the currently logged-in instance. This is a major issue.
