as far as I know, there isn’t any universal method of linking to specific posts yet. One of the problems with it are that posts seem to have different IDs between instances. Why that is, I don’t know, but it will require some work by the developers to make sure the right ID is linked to when they implement such a universal method to link to posts. Same goes for links to specific replies in a post
yeah, which means there’s probably a table translating the IDs from other instances to the IDs on the current instance, because there’s no way federation could work otherwise. So I imagine the devs could add a function that parses a link like this: https://lemmy.world/post/2084462 and changes it to point to the local equivalent ( https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/995589 for me ) by taking that ID 2084462 and looking it up in that table

I guess because initially when new instance is created it doesn’t know about others. It has no way to tell what ID is used and which isn’t.
