I would love to have domain agnostic URL for lemmy posts. It's not easy to copy and paste from mobile and having multiple redundant URLs like instance.tld/post/12345 and another.tld/post/98765 leads to a discoverability problem.

Yes, definitely! Using the !community@instance.tld works well for communities, but linking to posts is a bit of a headache honestly.
