Right now there seems to be a bit of an issue where if I want to share a link to a lemmy post with a friend, but if we call different servers our “home”, even though both of our “homes” have a roughly similar copy of the same post, there currently is no easy way that I perceive for us to navigate to “our” copy of that post.

This becomes further of an issue when it comes to search engine parsing. For example I use lemmy.world as my “home” server, however when I find information on google it may link to the fedia.io or whatever “sources” link.

For reading this is no big deal.

But if I want to respond to the post, I now need to somehow figure out a way to re-route to the lemmy.world copy of that post to make my submission with my user account.

I think ideally what we need to consider is perhaps one of the following:

A: a browser plugin that can automatically detect and redirect to the matching version of the post for your server

B: OAuth support, so I can OAuth login to any lemmy server with my credentials from my “home” server via an OAuth v2 token
