So, this will probably be possible when the link handler is implemented, but it would be really handy to be able to switch what account you are viewing a post with. I’m guessing it would be possible to share the post to the link handler and then there would be an account selector, but it would be nice if there was a slightly less roundabout way to do it.

I’m on a smaller instance and browse all from the anonymous Lemmy.World account sometimes, but when I find a post from community that I’d like to subscribe to I have to copy and edit the post link to get the community link to search with. If anyone knows an easier way I’d love to know it.

    I would hope eventually it would pull the instance icon, which should help. Right now they all just use a generic one for whatever instance it is.

      Ah yeah, that’s a good idea. Everyone seems to want to make changing instances out to be this thing that never happens, but at the stage in the game it’s definitely commonplace.
