yeah, which means there’s probably a table translating the IDs from other instances to the IDs on the current instance, because there’s no way federation could work otherwise. So I imagine the devs could add a function that parses a link like this: https://lemmy.world/post/2084462 and changes it to point to the local equivalent ( https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/995589 for me ) by taking that ID 2084462 and looking it up in that table
