how to view a post from another instance, in this instance?

dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com to /0@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 9 points –

It seems I am unable to view this post https://lemmy.world/post/10613192

on this instance lemmy.dbzer0.com, even though lemmy.world is not deferated.

How is this possible? I tried injecting the /post/10613192 into the URL: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/10613192 but this page does not exist

You need to search for it to find the right url : https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/12184631

There's extensions that will do that for you. Install Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin for firefox

ahh good thanks. I was afraid it was more serious.

It's a bummer this is not more streamlined. I know this is not the place to whine about it, but it's also unfortunate that you can't see the community name inside the URL for easy/quick reference. E.g. if you're scrolled down in a post, it's not readily visible which community you're in.
