PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News.

That's not a "post from feddit.org," that's a "post by a feddit.org user on a lemmy.ml community." It may be DDOSing feddit.org because that server's view of it is the link that happened to go viral, but there's no reason folks outside Lemmy couldn't view it on the server it's actually posted on, or some other third node like lemmy.world or whatever.
The original link
ap_idcorresponds to the author's instance.[email protected] posts to [email protected]. The path the post will take is this:
User -> Author's instance -> Community's instance -> Notified to all other instances subscribed, to download from author's instance.
As for your other point, there is no good universal Lemmy linking thing for posts. communities and users have names that work on any instance, but there's no similar unique identifier for posts.

I'll be honest, there's a lot of reasonable people on HackerNews. Not only tech bros.
I would agree in the past but in the last few years this site has doubled down on the silicon valley brand of techno-fascism and I just can't read the comments without losing faith in "hacker culture" at this point.

I hate that it needs repeatedly saying, but its not. Its just based in Germany which has very draconian speech laws relating to Israel and the admins don't want to be arrested

In another comment I mentioned that there's this lemmyverse link thing. From the way you phrased that I'm not sure if you don't know about it, or do know but just don't think it's good, but I think it's about halfway to being useful.
What it needs to get the rest of the way is to:
- default to some kind of load-balanced or at least round-robin instance selection instead of defaulting to the original instance of the link given, and
- be built into the Lemmy UI(s) so that it's easy to grab a lemmyverse.link URL to share.
