From what I've heard the reaction is split. Some people want to federate as much as possible, other people are arguing that meta will screw over the fediverse (and I agree with the second group)

You need to access the post through your own instance. In the sidebar of a community, it will have an adress to that community that you can copy paste in the search function of your instance> apparently I was wrong about it being in the sidebar, but the address is formulated like !anime@lemmy.ml in which anime is the community and lemmy.ml the instance

edit: apparently I was wrong about it always being in the sidebar, but the address is formulated like !anime@lemmy.ml in which anime is the community and lemmy.ml the instance
