A few beginner Beehaw (& Threadiverse) questions (self.support)

Hi all! I'm really enjoying my time on the Threadiverse so far. I have two things that have confused me, one about the Threadiverse in general and one small thing for Beehaw's UI.

  1. Threadiverse: If I click on a link that lands me on a post directly on another instance, and am therefore not logged in, how can I comment on that post? What's the quickest way to go from there to my instance's local copy of that post? (Feature request: It would be great if links generated somehow automatically did this, such that if you click on a link like this from your own instance while logged in, it will take you to the local copy if it exists. I worry that this will be a huge blocker to mass adoption, since it's really common to link to other posts in your own post / comments.)

  2. When I save a post on Beehaw, where does that live? I've been unable to find my saved posts.

I agree that this needs to be more intuitive. It works for me, but is definitely going to be a deterrent to non-techy users.
