Let’s say I’m visiting lemmy.ml/post/1234, and I’d like to view the same post but under lemmy.world. is there a pattern or something I can do to do this?

    I’d like to write a browser addon that displays a button in each lemmy instance that when clicked redirects you to the same post in your home instance, so I’m searching for a way to do this unequivocally. there could be two posts with the same title and hypothetically also with the same body, so there must be another way…

      That sounds like a very difficult circle to square.

      If you notice this icon:

      That button takes you to the “original” version, with the ID of that comment/post on the home instance of whoever posted it. I’d start by looking into how that button works on the github page. I don’t know typescript, so I don’t know where to look there, but it’s gotta be coded somewhere

        this could be a good point to start from, thanks!
