MODERATORS
The previous post's instructions you may have seen here has been simplified! Follow the steps below:
-
Go to "More,"
-
Click on "Copy Mbin URL", or, if that doesn't work, (usually because it's a comment or a federated post), click on "Copy Original URL".
(On Lemmy, these are the 
and 
respectively. Right click on them and select 'copy link' on your web browser.)
-
Paste it into your home instance's search bar, and
-
Click on reply on your home instance. You will be directed to the correct thread, or a thread will be created for you.
Bonus tip 1: On your home instance (probably Mastodon), there is usually a hamburger, or triple-dotted menu that will allow you to take you to the original post on the origin server.
Bonus tip 2: On Mastodon it's called "Open Original Page."
Bonus tip 3: Yes, the four steps can be done on any thread, or comment, posted here on Mbin from your home server, like Mastodon, if you were wondering.
Bonus tip 4: You should remember these tips, because you'll see this phrase a lot on the Fediverse:
This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.
Bonus tip 5: If you need to mention someone, do it in the comments.
Lemmy users should still just search for !CPCSupport@fedia.io and post that way.
