Please tell me you haven't been creating accounts on every instace. You can register on one instance then use that account to interact with content and communities on all other instances.
Some people do make this mistake, I've seen a thread or two asking about it after they already started. We'll need a proper solution eventually, likely education/tutorial-based.
The problem will stay there as long as lemmy links don't automatically redirect to your instance in somr way.
True, but changing this is unfortunately unfeasible with the way the web works. If I just access the URL of a post on instance A, there is no reasonable way for it to know that my home instance is B.
There should at least be a button or something that sends you to your home instance after entering the domain though. Other than that, we'll have to keep using browser addons and userscripts...
