Is there a seamless way of linking to other instances? (lemm.ee)

For example, this comment links to another community on another instance, but when clicked on, you're not actually able to interact with anything on that community, because you're suddenly not logged in.

It's doesn't function like linking to a subreddit, and I understand that that's because of federation, but is there a better way of doing this? It seems... very stupid that linking to a page would suddenly "log you out" for all intents and purposes, while searching that same community wouldn't.

Does this make sense?

I'm not sure what I expected clicking those links in Jerboa, but it's true they do crash Jerboa when clicked

Reading that comment, reading this comment, still clicking on the link with Jerboa:

They work for me on Jerboa 0.35!

They kind of work, you can see below that the content is not from those communities. I have to change the sort method to get the content, but the sort method is broken for me as I'm on lemmy.one which is not on v18:

Whoops, I get that too. Refreshing the page loads the correct content for me. Clicking those links previously crashed Jerboa iirc so at least it's a step in the right direction!

Those links don't crash my jerboa. 0.18.0-rc and 0.0.35.
