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?

Hopefully there can be a URL rewrite feature in future Lemmy updates

I knew about Lemmy before what happened with reddit, but didn't use it until then. So I know about the little quirks like that, but if people are gonna stay this really needs to be addressed. To the average user they don't understand why they've been logged out and just think Lemmy is buggy which is sad.

To your point about the logout issue, it would be nice if identities could be federated between instances so a login on one would work like SSO for any Lemmy instance. Just now I clicked on your comment to reply and was confused why I couldn't, because I was viewing it on the original instance and not through my own.
