If I want to share a post with someone from another instance, it looks like I have 2 options:

  1. I can share how my instance links to the post, which is the little link symbol.

  2. Or I can click the federated symbol and that apparently shares a link from the poster’s instance.

In both cases, whoever I share the link with is unable to view that post from their account if they’re on another instance. Is there a way to alleviate this?

    Paste the URL in the search bar, it’ll fetch it locally on your instance and get you there. No need for link guesswork to find it on a particular instance.
