If the links are to another post, you’ll stay logged in so you can interact. Without this it opens on the other instance so you cant interact.

This is a dumb question; but what’s the benefit to redirecting links to the home instance?

I’m logged in on sh.itjust.works, I’m not logged in or have an account on lemmy.ml. If I want to interact with posts from lemmy.ml, I want to do so from my home instance of sh.itjust.works whre I’m logged in and have my main account.

Also, if nobody on your instance has ever visited that sub or instance, redirecting to your home will kind of make contact with them so it shows up for other people in your instance.
Idk if I’m explaining correctly, but federation only works if you opened it on your instance, without it, you will never find that content.

But for example I’m on Lemmy.zip; and this post is lemmy.world; yet I seem to be able to interact with it fine. Mariner I’m missing something; but I don’t see the issue
