Correct. The frontend URL solves the problem for you in a sense, when you open alex.lemmy.ca/[other server address]/post/[other server post #] you can stay logged into lemmy.ca and it shows the correct thing.
The idea though, is that each client (at the moment, Lemmy v1.0 may change this) is expected to handle it their own way, so the original URL is ideal (other frontends call this Permalink) if you are making a lemmylink redirect link. Does the linked clips icon for someone not on your server give a link to their server or one to Lemmy.ca? The original one is always the on the originating server of the person who submitted the post or comment.
Sorry, no idea. And I don't know what the "linked clips icon" is.
Nvm that gives the frontend link only. Link to original comment doesn't appear to be a feature on alex.lemmy.ca. However there's only one extra step you need to do.
You just have to remove the alex.lemmy.ca/ part before the actual server name to obtain the original URL.
Ah, I tried removing just the alex. part , without success. Didn't notice the duplication of the lemmy.ca/ part.
