So basic usability question here. If I end up looking at a post on a different Lemmy server (say, over at beehaw) and want to comment/vote on it, how can I quickly open it up on my home Lemmy server?

Right now I copy paste the entire title, open my server, search the title, and then find the post. But that seems really cumbersome. Any better way?

You have to first subscribe to it from your home lemmy server.

You can browse all your subscribed communities from remote instances all through your home instance. I am only on remote instances looking for communities to sub to.

I made this script which makes the subbing process a little easier. https://thesimplecorner.org/post/4320
