100% agree. I'm currently trying to find a way how a browser addin could take care of the URL translation (like automatically turning kbin.social/m/memes into feddit.de/c/[email protected] when feddit.de is defined as your home instance in the addin). Then I noticed that feddit.de/c/[email protected] gives me a "404: couldnt_find_community" error and I have no idea why. I also can't find the BuyItForLife magazine with the community search on feddit.de. I can find other kbin magazines though, like memes. No idea why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just hope some of this stuff will be fixed with the 0.8 update, otherwise I don't see how a browser addin could look like. I also wouldn't know how to translate post and comment URLs automatically.
It seems like nobody on feddit ever subscribed to [email protected] so it never got synced to that instance. My understanding is that it should be found like this the first time, but it never worked for me on lemmy: https://i.imgur.com/pQHfq1N.png .
After this is done, it should start showing up with your link, it definitely seems correctly formatted. It will be missing posts made before it started sync, it doesn't work retroactively though. On kbin I just use the magnifying glass (not the "all magazines"!) and then it usually finds any community I want.
In short, yeah... it's a mess
