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/cool-community@some-other-instance.pub 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, I’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
