Also, on the user side of that, note that there’s a Firefox and Chrome extension, “Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin” where one can set one’s home instance. It’ll add a button in the sidebar on remote instances where one can just click on “view in my home instance”.

Finally got around to trying that extension out. And wow was it significantly less useful than I was expecting.

I was first offput by its settings page. “Home instance” is clear enough, but then it also needs a list of instances to “change display”. No idea what that’s supposed to do.

But the real problem is that it doesn’t actually do anything useful. Yeah if I’m on lemmy.world/c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, I can click it and be taken to aussie.zone/c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, but I can do that really easily manually. The actual useful convenient thing would be if I were at lemmy.world/post/14353571 and clicking the button took me to aussie.zone/post/8919002

But instead, clicking the button displays this popup:
