If you see yourself facing this often, you can also use a browser extension to make it easier to see the post you are at in your instance.
For Firefox and derivatives, the simplest one is Lemmy Link, which places a Lemmy icon next to links such as the sibebar's !community link in the instructions for logged out users to find the community in their own instance. It has not been updated in two years, but still works.
Another option is Kbin Link, which does the same thing and has seen recent updates but tends to trigger "this extension is slowing down..." notifications.
A third one I found is Instance Assistant, which instead adds a "Find in my home instance" button to the sidebar. It does have some additional features, but I couldn't get them to work. This one is also available for Chromium-based browsers.
