i.e. in addition to “subscribed”, “local”, and “all”, there should be an option labeled “instance” that lets you view what would be “local” on that instance.

    Yep! You’re right. It doesn’t help that people get confused because they get linked to a community on a different instance that references the instance domain (so it takes you to that server, where you are NOT a local user). I think community linking and link handling and also having a way to gently nudge users back onto their home instance while viewing content would be fantastic.

    I was thinking this could be done with a “official” lemmy extension for Chrome/Firefox, where you can save your instance host and have it look for links that follow this format.

    It would auto-change links from: [https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy](https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy)

    To: [https://{your host}/c/[email protected]](https://{your host}/c/[email protected])
