When I visit the #mastodon page of a #kbin or #lemmy user/community through a direct link or entering the url (as opposed to navigating to it manually on mastodon), I get taken to the kbin/lemmy instance instead. How can I prevent that?

    You can’t. When you go to a different website you’re going to a different website.

    That said, there was a recent post about a Firefox add-on that would redirect you to that post on your home instance if you happened to click or enter a URL. I don’t have that post saved so you may have to search for it.

      I think you misunderstand what I meant.

      This link: https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]

      takes me to the profile on kbin instead.

      This happens with any kbin/lemmy community/user. Mastodon seems to automatically redirect, I’m asking if I can turn that off somehow. If I go to a mastodon.social url, I expect to arrive at mastodon.social not kbin.social or lemmy.world.

      As I understand it, that addon you’re referring to would just redirect a lemmy.world link to kbin.social (aka my home instance) instead. Which isn’t really what I’m looking for at all.
