This has been in my head for months that one big problem with the fediverse is that you can get linked for a fediverse service but to an instance your not on and you have to find your instance and hope it's federated to the account your looking for.

I did run into this problem when I made a peertube plug in and I wanted to like videos but I had to paste in an instance just to get 404 error.

Plug in already exist, but if not it might be useful to make it
