Let's say:

  • I am on instance A.
  • I browse on a community that is on instance B
  • a user from instance C post something on that community B.

Now i want to share a link to this post. Which instance should i pick?

  • A my home instance
  • B the community
  • C the post author

use the fediverse icon to get the canonical link to a post (which is option C in your list), you can right click it to copy the link

on piefed.social it's in the overflow menu:

on Lemmy it's just the icon

although sometimes I do not grab the canonical link, like if the instance is slow or has poor downtime, I'll use link A or B from your list

(someone should maybe add this info to the Lemmy docs https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html idk if piefed has similar docs)

That was surprising. I thought like many others that the posts belong to the community. Actually it is not like you have proven.
