Even at the most basic level it is broken - at the bottom of your comment is a "context" button with the fediverse symbol. If I click on it, it won't take me to the comment on my instance (lemmy.world) but instead is an absolute link to the comment on your instance (Aussie.world) even though the community lives on lemmy.world.
I love lemmy, and I think it has a bright future, but this fundamental problem really needs to be fixed.
You're probably looking at the rainbow pentagon button, which behaves as you describe. There's also a kind of chain link button. That one should take you to the context within your own instance. At least on web that's how it works. Different apps may display differently.
The tooltip doesn't help either - both links only have a tooltip that just says
link... IMHO it should beLink to this comment on CURRENT_INSTANCE_DOMAINfor the chain icon thing, andLink to this comment on COMMENTER_INSTANCEfor the rainbow thing.Anyway, the issue about this messy behavior described by @cerevant@lemmy.world is here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048
Oh good, it should be coming in 0.18.2. Nice.
