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?

Does the linked clips icon for someone not on your server give a link to their server or one to Lemmy.ca?

Sorry, no idea. And I don't know what the "linked clips icon" is.

Nvm that gives the frontend link only. Link to original comment doesn't appear to be a feature on alex.lemmy.ca. However there's only one extra step you need to do.

You just have to remove the alex.lemmy.ca/ part before the actual server name to obtain the original URL.

Ah, I tried removing just the alex. part , without success. Didn't notice the duplication of the lemmy.ca/ part.
