    The point is that it redirects you to the post on your personal interest.

    You can also paste that into the search of any lemmy instance to find it, if they mirrored it

      Yes, this works. But I don’t understand how. The question is - will it work, if remote instance went down?

        Once a user on the remote instance subscribes, all posts are replicated over as they’re made. Not at the the time of request.

          The existence of local replica doesn’t prove, that searching by remote URL will work (with remote server down).
