I keep ending up on different servers, unable to post, when trying to reply (lemmy.ml)

I log into my instance (lemmy.ml) and click a post on the front page that's hosted on another lemmy instance (eg lemmy.world).
I post a comment, which works fine, becase it opens within a container in lemmy.ml, where I'm registered
I get a reply which open in my inbox.
I go to inbox and click "show context", to know what comment chain I'm replying to.
Now I'm bounced to a different instance and can't reply in an instance tha I'm not registered in

Is there any way to handle this? To view the comment chain without being bounced to a post that you can't reply to, despite posting on it earlier?

Which button are you pressing? There's the chainlink icon that brings you to the reply on your own instance, and then there's the rainbowy icon that brings you to the reply on their instance.
