How do I share a post or comment to someone on another instance so they can view it from their account? (self.lemmy_support)

If I want to share a post with someone from another instance, it looks like I have 2 options:

I can share how my instance links to the post, which is the little link symbol.
Or I can click the federated symbol and that apparently shares a link from the poster's instance.

In both cases, whoever I share the link with is unable to view that post from their account if they're on another instance. Is there a way to alleviate this?

There is no way to do this. It's a requested feature. I'm assuming you mean how if I type something like [email protected] it will make a link that when you click it, it takes you to your instance's view of it so you can comment and stuff. There's no way to do that for posts and/or comments, sadly.
