I just tried to see a post from the feddit.cl instance using the open in browser option, but the browser loaded a lemmy.world link instrad. Is that working as intended or a weird hiccup?

The normal way federation functions is by sharing the link from the viewer’s home instance.
For example, this thread’s link is shared from my web interface as https://sh.itjust.works/post/2774802 because I am logging in from sh.itjust.works.
It appears that Bean shares the link from lemmy.world as it it hard-coded into the share feature, likely due to it being Steve’s home instance.
This is correct, I’m linking to the ap_id from the API which I believe stands for “ActivityPub ID” (I can’t say for certain because it’s undocumented)
This is where the post originated from before it was federated.
Perhaps I should add two links: one that opens on your instance, and one that opens the original post?
What’s your use-case for wanting it on your insurance?
I don’t think there is any reason for a dedicated link to a user’s home instance. This is more of an “everyone is still learning about this federation thing” question.
