Pasting it in your search bar should give you this kind of results:
You can then click on it to access the post from your instance (in this example, lemmy.zip: https://lemmy.zip/post/16918691)
There's a bunch of browser extensions as well to add a "show on my instance" link whenever it detects a Lemmy instance page which basically does the same thing automatically for you, pretty useful.
Was about to ask if there was a way to do this automatically. Does anyone know why this isn't baked into the Lemmy codebase? I'm thinking this would be pretty easy with browser cookies. ๐ค
It would have to go through some sort of Lemmy link redirector service because a site can't access another site's cookies. And even then, with third-party cookie sandboxing, that still wouldn't work.
I don't think this is solvable without a browser extension. The best the devs could do is let you enter your home instance URL on each instance such that eventually you've configured them all and it works. But the extensions are just plain better.
That's how mastodon works now and i think it's worthwhile as a basic feature.
