Comment on Which instance should i choose when i share a link?
bayleaf@piefed.ca 1 week agoDo 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.
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.
