Thanks. At first I thought it didn't work, but there's a work around.
If I give it:
I get:
If I give it (click "Original Post" button, page opens in new tab, regular web, not a front end like Alexandrite, copy from URL bar):
I get: https://lemsha.re/lemmy.ca/post/42943146
Clicking on that takes me to an intermediate page asking if I want to follow the link "as is" or visit on my instance.
So it is possible, with multiple additional steps when using a front end like Alex.
Yep. Alternative frontend links don't work. You will have to use the instance's domain, which is lemmy.ca. You still should be redirected to your alexandrite frontend if you set the Photon UI setting to alex.lemmy.ca in the preferences menu (works for Tesseract, so I guess alexandrite should as well) .
Thanks for the info.
