Amazingly few users seem to realize this can be done.
I think most (especially mobile) clients simply don't have this option and will always copy/share the "fedi link" - the url where the content is canonically hosted. all other URLs are simply cached representations of the original content.
Boost offers both pretty readily.
Thunder:
The default Web UI as well, the link icon is using your instance, the fediverse icon gives the commenter/poster's instance link
Honestly, that's one of the things I like most about lemmy.
The web UI just works fine in a mobile browser. I was so used to garbage sites going out of their way to gimp the mobile experience (to push you into their app) that I had forgotten how pleasant it was to just use a browser for this.
Multiple tabs, ublock origin, bookmarks, etc.
I appreciate that there are apps available, but it's nice not needing an app.
I think it's just for comments?
I've been wanting the same for posts for some time now
Thunder has it for posts and comments.
It works for posts on the default UI
Ditto, i thought i was going nuts, but yeah its only for comments, not for sharing a post
