   How do you go about sharing a link to a #Fediverse post outside of the Fediverse ? Whoever receives the URL might want to interact with it, but how can you make it easy for them to interact ? I'm thinking something like matrix.to, something that might remember you from last time and automatically direct you to your client of choice... is there any such thing for the Fediverse ?

     @strk there's nothing like that, that I know of...

     However, if they're on Fedi somewhere already and they know, even partially, how Fedi works, then you can send them the link and tell them to put it in their instances search bar.

     That will pull the post to their instance so they can interact with it. Given their instance doesnt have the other instance blocked, this usually works.🤷♂️

     @strk @elif that's strange, given that they're on mastodon, which usually just works for me if there's no instance blocks in place preventing such thing...😳

     @BeAware yes that sometimes works, depending on fedivwrse software. @elif was trying to favorite a #Pixelfed post and it wasn't straightforward to do

     @BeAware try for yourself: https://pixelfed.de/p/strk/723430163558508833

     I only see a "login to like or comment", no trace of support for liking or commenting from a different server

     @strk @elif to be clear, did you paste the link into your mastodon search bar, as I previously recommended?

     If so, there might be blocks in place for some reason...
