I get it's some form of tracking and that scares people here, but I keep on thinking there must be a way to set up cookies or whatever the right term is so that when you click on a link you'll automatically get sent to the Lemmy post through your specific instance. I would suggest an extension but I'm personally of the opinion that any site that needs a third party extension (like say, RES or Xkit) to fully work isn't a well designed site (not to mention it makes evangelising harder because now you gotta sign up for a new confusing thing and download this extension)
Like everyone's screaming "use smaller instances!!!1!" But like, this issue pretty much tells you "you should be using the same big instances for the best sharing/viewing experience"
