Hi I'm a bit lost. When I want to share a post that a see on Lemmy to people outside (ex: on discord) it's unclear to me how I should do that. I want to make sure that people will be able to see the post without loging in. Maybe a Share button would be nice?

Just copying the URL from the address bar should be enough, I think? There is nothing really where you have to be logged in to see it.

@nachtigall@feddit.de @jumanjimanju@lemmy.ml Ok, but if I want to share on Mastodon, I need to use the URL of the original post.

For example, try to copy and paste these URL in the search box of Mastodon:

https://lemmy.ml/post/1147609 (this one won't work because it's not the "original" URL)

https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/3836/Search-for-remote-magazines-communities-not-always-works (this one will appear on Mastodon)

No clue there either. I can't open either on Mastodon. So perhaps more of a Mastodon problem than a Lemmy problem?

Unfortunately mastodon is not something ive used before, so i cant really help you further than that...
Hopefully someone else can chime in
