I was also not aware of this. If the Lemmy software can do this, doesn't that mean there should be a way for apps and web interfaces to do this automatically?

Tesseract has for a while, but I'm not sure which, if any, other frontends do.

Eternity and Thunder seem to most of the time, but it occasionally fails, even for non-obscure instances.
