How to link to a Lemmy post? (self.newtolemmy)

How can I link to a Lemmy post in a way that another Lemmy user that can view the linked page without the "You must log in or sign in to vote or comment" message (when they are already logged in)?

And vice versa: how can I click on a Lemmy link and not get that problem?

One other option is to get a browser extension for this issue (I think there is one for Firefox, not sure about Chrome). I have not personally tried them.

I have tried one, and it works very well. However, it only solves the "how can I click on a Lemmy link and not get that problem?" Sending someone else a link is still an issue.

In case people are interested, here's the extension and script I installed:

Violentmonkey + Lemmy Universal Link Switcher

Best way to avoid accidentally leaving your home instance.

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance.

I've installed Violentmonkey... but I don't know how to install the Lemmy link script.

I've read through the whole Azzurite page, still clueless.

I tried clicking on the Violentmonkey extension logo > Find scripts for this site, first GF, then OUJs, both "no scripts found".

In case It was because I'm on a front end (alex), I also tried with a non-front-end page. GF: no scripts found. OUJS: Error 429 too many requests. Again 429 after several minutes.
