I agree with the other answers here, however if you share the link to another fediuser outside of the platform (e.g matrix) I really like sharing with threadiverse.link.

Edit: an example using your post with threadiverse link (used my local instance to copy the post): https://threadiverse.link/sopuli.xyz/post/29845043

You set your instance once into the cookies and it will always redirect to yours.

@[email protected] could you add threadiverse support?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yes.

That would be awesome!

Since the page doesn't have about or info page I'll add the link to the repo of threadiverse.link: https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link
