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.
Ditto, i thought i was going nuts, but yeah its only for comments, not for sharing a post
It works for posts on the default UI
