Let's say:

  • I am on instance A.
  • I browse on a community that is on instance B
  • a user from instance C post something on that community B.

Now i want to share a link to this post. Which instance should i pick?

  • A my home instance
  • B the community
  • C the post author

Id pick the communities instance because that's the one responsible for federating the post and comments. Id only choose the instances a or c if b is or is planning to shutdown, or if I really wanted to show people what my home instance is
