    As far as I’m aware hotlinking posts is only possible for the same instance - ie. the link will only work for everyone on your instance.

    [This link will only work for aussie.zone users](/post/937401) -> This link will only work for aussie.zone users

    [This link will only work for lemmy.cafe users](/post/298024) - > This link will only work for lemmy.cafe users

    They both point to the same post, but because of how instances sync content the IDs are different. I suspect global hotlinking is in the works, but probably not a priority, yet.
