Is there a solution to links from different instances? (lemmy.world)

This is a more general federated social media question, but posts often have links to content on instances other than the one I have an account with. For example, this post has links to beehaw.org posts. When I click on them, I am unable to vote on or comment on anything, because I don't have an account on beehaw.org.

Is there a Chrome extension or some other solution that would redirect these posts to my preferred lemmy instance?

One year ago Mastodon had similar problems, but now it improve a lot and also has great apps and clients. The Fediverse is growing and improving step by step without much money and ruled by communities.

Use Lemmy and Kbin, contribute reporting issues, writing code, supporting admins and projects, spreading the word...

Did you know that now Pixelfed allow to import your Instagram account?

I thought about signing up for Kbin as well, but I prefer to just have one account and use it across the fediverse. As far as I understand, Kbin and Lemmy are really similar, being microblogging the main difference, besides Kbin not being federated yet.
