Server choice when sharing a post (sh.itjust.works)

Let’s say I’m browsing Home and come across an interesting post by user@a.lemmy in community b.lemmy/c/whatever, while my home instance is c.lemmy. If I use the share button to get a link to the post, which server should it point to?

Maybe this is my misunderstanding of federation, but I think my client is doing all of its interaction with c.lemmy and everything is marked with where it came from. So the user originally submitted it to a.lemmy, whose backend then replicated it over to b.lemmy and from there out to all other instances that federate with b.

In my mind, the appropriate way to reference the post in question is via the server that hosts the community, b.lemmy. But when I get a link from Voyager’s share button, it points to a.lemmy. Is this a feature or a bug?

That's already configurable in Settings > General > Share Links.
