Direct comment links seem to have stopped working in some situations (lemmy.world)

I've noticed very recently (last two days or so) that when I get a direct link to a specific comment, it won't load anything under certain circumstances.

Following the link from the button on the comment, either from the profile or from viewing other comments on the post, will work, but using the link as the URL for a post in a different community, or opening a new tab and pasting the link in, don't.

In the former situation, the UI of the post I gave it as the URL for just freezes until I press the back button, still showing the post. In the latter, Lemmy doesn't load at all.

I'm using Librewolf 116.0, based on Firefox 116.0.

Ah, that's good to know. For me the problem is that most of my non-lurking activity on Lemmy is transcribing posts to improve accessibility; I post the URLs to an archive to make all the transcriptions easy to find for those who need them, and I know there are at least a few people from rblind subscribed to it, but with this going on the archive is essentially useless.
