Mastodon v4 frontend has some UX tricks to display remote posts without having the user "leave" the instance. Nifty trick, but breaks the search bar in Akkoma/Pleroma

Would be very convenient if Akkoma search function can follow the Mastodon redirects and fetch the remote post.

Example: User browsing masto.nu and find a funny post, User right-clicks the timestamp and copy the URL, and get this:

https://masto.nu/@charlotte@akko.chir.rs/109387908449143493

Suggest Akkoma search function to fetch this URL, follow Mastodon's HTTP 302 redirect and fetch https://akko.chir.rs/notice/APrew44Zg0zn1z2xyi

this isn't new to mastodon, we've had this problem for a while with misskey (which doesn't even redirect, it just shows the post in the remote instance and makes it unclear in the URL)
that would be a bit harder to figure out because Misskey™ but yes it would be very useful
