What's a good way of linking content? (lemmy.world)

If I want to share something I see, what’s a good way of sharing that so if someone opens that link it uses their preferred UI or application?

It’s a bit annoying to open a link and have to find it using my instance’s website to interact with it.

But what if the content is original? Let’s say I do want to share an orginal lemmy post?

Use the crosspost function for that. All the clients I've used have supported it.

Assuming you're posting to Lemmy, anyway. If not, you want to hit the fediverse button (rainbow network icon) first, then share that URL. At least that's how you do it in the default web client, yours may be different.
