I haven't encountered that particular one in a while. Usually it's Lemmy links from elsewhere like Matrix or Discord or whatever that are annoying to deal with and needs redirecting.
Most apps seems to rewrite the links already just fine, at least Tesseract does. It's not like the default UI is known to be good. It's functional but the UX is terrible.
The default UI is how most new users will experience interacting with lemmy instances at first. So it's helpful to create a better first impression. To the extent that this is built into the project itself makes it easier for other UIs to be created and maintained too.
I believe that the Lemmy devs are working on a better url scheme for posts and comments as well. This will also make it less annoying without any browser extension, script, or other third part service.
