I’m on sh.itjust.works, but I wanna browse local posts on lemmy.world from my own instance without using their url. Is there such a feature?

Alright, thank you. It’s not completely satisfying but it’s what i’ve been doing and it works for now. Sometimes I just wanna see what’s the general PoV from a different instance, and i guess just browsing through those instances will have to do for now.
My main issue with this is that I can’t just switch easily to comment on a post from a remote url using my local instance. Say I’m reading this, it just says sh.itjust.works/post/38224, but if i browse from lemmy.world, it’s lemmy.world/post/55592. There’s no button I can tap to be like “see this but from another instance” because the link is numeric and different.
To switch, my process is I go to sh.itjust.works/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml (typed manually), browse by new and find the relevant post and comment on it. As you can see it’s very much a difficult mess to handle.
Do you know a way to do this more easily?
I dig it, this is a reasonable way to cruise around the fediverse sightseeing the vibe on other instances. FWIW, it wouldn’t give you any insight into how I as a

user experience things here, as a huge part of my feed is remote communities. But yeah, it’s still interesting to see what’s getting hosted locally.I don’t cruise the fediverse much in the way you’re describing, my goto tool is subscription. But these two things just scrolled across my feed this morning:
I’m not even going to try to summarize what they do because to be honest I’m not sure I understand myself. They seem to have something to do with instance switching though. I wonder if they would help you, or could be modified to do so. I might just be confused and they might be irrelevant though. At any rate, I provide them for your information without endorsement.
