Opening a link to a toot on the web to try to reply to it on another instance is like totally impossible.
@bram copy paste the link in the search bar, tada
@bram byt yes they should be detected and opened directly in the columns. open a feature request if not already here ? :D
@bram same thing from usernames for me from the Tusky app
@bram they def need to work on this
@bram if you get the URL you can search it in the search box and get a version you can reply to. It is clunky as hell but I did manage to do it once.
