I think most (especially mobile) clients simply don't have this option and will always copy/share the "fedi link" - the url where the content is canonically hosted. all other URLs are simply cached representations of the original content.
delegating authentication to another service.
one of the more commonly known options would be sign in with google, but this is also quite useful for providers hosting multiple services. a provider could host a service that handles authentication and then you only have to login once and will automatically get logged in for their lemmy, xmpp, wiki and other services they might be providing.
you may want to redact the names as this spam is framing another person pretending to be originating from them
this is a lemm.ee limitation, not a Lemmy limitation, so this is the wrong community.
if you look at the instance sidebar at https://lemm.ee/ you can see that it's 4 weeks.
Retaining old content has value
this 100%. this is exactly why i wouldn't recommend any communities to be removed if there is still content in there, worst case just lock it.
cleaning up communities doesn't make lemmy more active either. it may help to make active communities stand out more against inactive ones though.
just as great as lemmy-ui

The "fediverse link" on a post always points to the instance of the person who posted it, not the community instance. When posting from a lemmy.world account this means the fedilink is always the lemmy.world post link.
It is only shown for content coming from remote instances in Lemmy UI 0.19.3, although a later version changed that to always show.
this is by design. actor ids (unique identifier for accounts) should not be reused due to undefined behavior for how other instances will deal with that.
if you want to have a more technical explanation, https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/reuse-of-identity-channel-addresses-revocation-reissue-of-keys/2888 does a decent job at explaining some of the issues with this.
It should be noted that the (visibility of) community bans are a result of better enforcement of site bans in 0.19.4, which for now is implemented by sending out community bans for local communities when a user gets instance banned: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4464
Prior to this, when a user got instance banned from .ml, they were also implicitly banned from .ml communities, but this was only known to the instance they were banned on. As a result, users were still able to post, comment, and vote on those communities, but it would be visible only on that user's instance, not federated anywhere else. Visibility of this ban was exclusively on the banning instance's modlog.

this doesn't just affect lemmy.ml.
it seems that lemmy.ml -> lemm.ee was somehow fixed yesterday, but there are several other instances that also have issues sending to lemm.ee:
