Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)I hate that you can't link to a Mastodon post without it taking you a different server. It's nuts that those links aren't swizzed on the sever. Always taking me to a different server that I'm not logged into is the Achilles heal of Mastodon. Non-tech users are completely confused by this. It's not their fault, it's Mastodon's fault. I know it's not easy to fix, but if Mastodon wanted to fix one thing keep new users, this is it.

@grumpygamer Agreed, this is a pain and should be fixed. But I'd honestly forgotten this wasn't already a thing, coz it seems the client I use, @phanpy, kinda takes care of this transparently. It shows the quoted post embedded, but if I click it, it seems to keep it to my instance so I can easily interact. 😅
Erik MoellerYup, I echo the recommendation to give https://phanpy.social/ a try -- it's a static web app, and solves a lot of chronic Mastodon UX issues, or at least points in the right direction.
