Do you know an easy way to retrieve link B? As a piefed.ca user viewing a piefed.social post on a lemmy.world community, I see no easy way to retrieve the lemmy.world link. If no easy way exists, then I guess it settles the B vs. C debate.
Comment on Which instance should i choose when i share a link?

use the fediverse icon to get the canonical link to a post, 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

I don’t think there’s a quick way to get link B, but C is literally called the canonical URL. Check the <head> section in the HTML.
Remember that posts belong to users, the community only does a retweet/boost of the post.

At this moment the web interface doesn't support this.
I use the app Voyager on my smartphone. I can set in the settings that the share link target links to A, B, C by default or that the app asks me everytime.

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