I saw that messages have different identifiers on different servers. What should I write in my text to make the hyperlink to work on all servers?

15 ≠ 49064481

The site https://lemmy.ml/ is unreachable from my computer because of government politics. I want to refer to the copy of message, which is downloaded into my instance. But it have a new ID in my DB.

I enter xn--e1aghfa.xn--e1aqbccjfc.xn--p1acf into the field of https://lemmyverse.link/ when it asks my home. But the site doesn't accept that perfectly RFC952 compliant name

An additional problem - the site https://lemmyverse.link/ is available only partially (requires VPN to work).

So my new idea is to deploy
https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link
into my website locally, and give 2 links - the relative (via local redirector) and the direct one (as a fallback).

the relative link on forein server will became broken, until they also install such redirector into the same path.

After that the link will always lead to local server and redirect to preferred server of user.
