Given a direct URL to a thing in the fediverse, is there a way to plug that URL into kbin and open it through my kbin lens? (kbin.social)

Suppose I was sent a link to this video explaining the fediverse. Is there a way to open that in kbin's pwa so I'm logged in and can interact with it? If not, what would be the right URL format to view it "via kbin"?

Normally you do this via search. So the way I'm responding to this is selecting "copy the url to the fediverse" under more and searching for the url on my instance, https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/201381. You can see people doing similar here https://lemm.ee/post/1262626 So that seems to work for lemmy/tilvids. Hmm, but that doesn't seem to work for kbin, I seem to get a 500. It's possible the integration isn't quite there yet.

Edit: whoops I responded to a comment deep into this thread, well it's all I could load I guess since I'm getting 500s atm trying to load the mag/this thread

Yeah wonder if @ernest will take a PR with an "Open federated link"
