  • I browse on a community that is on instance B
  • a user from instance C post something on that community B.

Now i want to share a link to this post. Which instance should i pick?

  • A my home instance
  • B the community
  • C the post author

Just copy the URL. Maybe if you're DMing someone or replying to one specific person choose their instance.

Otherwise there's just no perfect answer, keep it simple and just copy that URL from your own Instance.
