ChatGPT and I came up with this bookmarklet which I'm using until this is resolved.
You set your home instance, then just click it when on a post on another instance. It grabs the post title and the author, redirects to a post search of the title on your home instance, and copies the author to your clipboard to Ctrl-F if there are too many results.
You have to be pretty quick on the draw to be able to enable clipboard access when using it on a new instance for the first time. So it's like a game, too.
javascript:(function(){
let instance = "lemm.ee";
const personListing = document.querySelector('.person-listing');
const author = personListing.getAttribute('title');
navigator.clipboard.writeText(author);
alert("Post author copied to clipboard.\n\nCtrl-F + Crtl-V when redirected, if necessary.");
var title = document.title;
var lastDashIndex = title.lastIndexOf(" - ");
if (lastDashIndex !== -1) {
title = title.substr(0, lastDashIndex);
}
var encodedTitle = encodeURIComponent(title);
let search = "https://" + instance + "/search?q=" + encodedTitle + "&type=Posts";
window.location.href = search
})();
