Ok, I've done that, but it involved switching away from my tab on lemmyverse.net, going to lemmy.world in a different tab, and manually searching for what I found on lemmyverse. Is there an intended workflow that involves clicking something on a result I see on lemmyverse.net?

edit: i've just now noticed that I can click the label under the title to copy the text that I can then paste into lemmy.world search.

There should be something like a chrome extension that captures lemmy links and redirects them to the lemmy instance that i have an account on.

I had the same idea re browser extension, just haven't found the motivation to build it yet.
The problem is that you don't know if the link you're clicking on is a lemmy link or not.

We are slowly approaching the limits of web browsing, where the document and the application are intertwined. We are limited by the tools at hand, unfortunately.
