How to open a particular POST on a different instance?

lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/8388491

lemmy.blahaj.zoneHow to open a particular POST on a different instance? - Blåhaj LemmyHello. I’m extremely tired, so it very well could be that this is extremely simple and I’m just not getting it. However, what I would like to know is how to open a post from a community on one instance to another instance. For example, here’s a recent post [https://lemmy.ml/post/11470168] from !asklemmy@lemmy.ml [/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml]. I know that to open that community in the instance lemmy.blahaj.zone, I would merely type into the address bar lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml [/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml] However, how would I open that particular post in that community on the latter instance? Is it even possible? Cheers.   P.S. I did do some searching on both this community as well as Reddit Lemmy FAQ page [https://www.reddit.com/r/Lemmy/comments/143gozf/lemmy_faq/] but I didn’t find anything. However, I could’ve missed something. If it’s something obvious, I apologize in advance.

Drop the permaurl/fedilink into your own instance’s search box. Note that you have to be logged in when searching for remote content otherwise it’ll silently find nothing, probably to avoid abuse of server resources.

This was all genuinely very fascinating, but now I’m embarrassed because I don’t know what a fedilink is. xD

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted @Die4Ever I think of a "fedilink" as the canonical URL where the post/comment/toot/video/etc. can be found.
From Lemmy server lemmy.sdf.org: lemmy.sdf.org/comment/8082033
From hachyderm.io (running Mastodon): hachyderm.io/statuses/11188679
Each of those servers loaded your comment from lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/6238 (this is the fedilink!)

Perhaps that will change one day. Hopefully soon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So the fedilink is the link to the original post on the original instance?
