I wish there was a way links could auto-resolve to the instance I’m logged in with.
I think people are working on browser extensions to do that, and it would work for users & communities. As far as I can tell posts and comments are numbered by the instance, and don't correspond between instances, so there is no way to link them in an instance independent way.

I think you should more clearly define how it would work and what features you want. Then, all the technical problems will soon surface and you will see that it is not as appealing anymore.
How do you log in? How do you reconcile people with the same name? Which instance are you representing? There are tons of difficult questions that make the idea impractical.
Cause it's decentralised. Which is good.
