I know I’ve seen it before, some website that translated a link to a post into a link to that same post, but on the instance of the user clicking the link. I cannot for the life of me seem to find it again, though.

It was not a browser extension.

    Those link to communities, not specific posts.

    I really wish the Lemmy devs had come up with a portable post URL format. Maybe something like

    https://*any-instance*/post/*number*@*source-instance*
    

    Then the clients could handle it like the ! links for communities and also just rewrite links to be for the currently logged-in instance.
