That’s not a “post from feddit.org,” that’s a “post by a feddit.org user on a lemmy.ml community.” It may be DDOSing feddit.org because that server’s view of it is the link that happened to get posted there, but there’s no reason folks outside Lemmy couldn’t view it on the server it’s actually posted on, or some other third node like lemmy.world or whatever.

The original link ap_id corresponds to the author’s instance.

User@feddit.org posts to community@lemmy.ml. The path the post will take is this:

User -> Author’s instance -> Community’s instance -> Sent to all other instances subscribed

  As for your other point, there is no good universal Lemmy linking thing for posts.
  
  In another comment I mentioned that there’s this lemmyverse link thing. From the way you phrased that I’m not sure if you don’t know about it to do and just don’t think it’s good, but I think it’s about halfway to being useful.
  
  What it needs to get the rest of the way is to:
  
  default to some kind of load-balanced or at least round-robin instance selection instead of defaulting to the original instance of the link given, and
  
  be built into the Lemmy UI(s) so that it’s easy to grab a lemmyverse.link URL to share.
