I wish there was a way links could auto-resolve to the instance I’m logged in with.

I think people are working on browser extensions to do that, and it would work for users & communities. As far as I can tell posts and comments are numbered by the instance, and don't correspond between instances, so there is no way to link them in an instance independent way.

I think this will ultimately be solved by 3rd party clients.
There are tons of mobile apps in the pipeline and some already released. I just got set up with Memmy a couple days ago and it already makes things a bit easier; a step in the right direction.
On desktop I imagine browser plugins helping to tie the experience a bit more together. Hopefully the vanilla UI can also deal with cross-instance behaviour down the road.
Let's adopt the irc model: any user id for anyone :P
Cause it's decentralised. Which is good.
You know you can interact with posts and users on other instances without having to login on their instance, right?
