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.

    To view a link on your own instance, paste it into your instance’s search.

    Example with a link to a similar discussion: https://lemmy.ca/post/38173834 (paste that URL into your Lemmy’s search, like this)

    (edit: I’ve been told that Lemmy is a bit smarter than I thought when doing those searches)

        That means if it’s a YouTube video, post the link to YouTube, not invidious or peertube or whatever. If the client wants to load YouTube in the browser, or the app, or revanced, or newpipe, or whatever, let them do that themselves.
