Clicking here and changing instance to .world so I can answer to it, takes too long

    I don’t use summit, but why do you change instance? You can reply to a message using any instance that’s federated with it, you don’t need to use the same instance as the post. You only need one lemmy account, not one on each instance.

      I’m not sure why the app does this, but instead of just taking you to a post normally when clicking a link, it does this

      And if you want to interact with the post in any way, you have to click that button

        I would argue this is the normal behavior. The “abnormal behavior” would be to look up the same exact post on your current instance and then redirect to that post instead without the user knowing. However this is a case where the “abnormal behavior” likely results in a better UX. It’s like when Apple had to make their music shuffle algorithm less random so that it was perceived to be more random.
