Feature request: Idea to improve link sharing
I have been trying to get my friends into lemmy but it isn't working out well. I feel one of the reasons is UI / UX of default web interfaces and anubis botcheck.
Is it possible to add an option to share links to other web frontends like:
And an option to include the title or screenshot of the post along with the link. (Some apps like whatsapp block fediverse link previews)

Do you know if it's possible to change the instance these apps use? I only see Voyager allowing you to change the instance on the "Guest account".
Photon defaults to
Lemdro.idand Blorp defaults toLemmy.zip. Blorp seems to allow you to change instances on the site but it doesn't modify the URL so I'm not sure if the instance can be set from URL.I tried to manually construct urls to this post for each frontend from my instance. Does that help?
