Hi guys. I dunno if any of you use MacOS but it's fuckin stupid and if you ever click the share icon, it only gives you options to share to/from Mac products. I don't use any Mac products other than MacOS. There's literally no way to just copy a link from the share button. If I just copy the link from the URL bar and send it to someone it will say "mismatching instance" (whatever that means) with no way to resolve it.

I'd like a way to share posts to people not on the threadiverse, but with the Photon frontend, so that it looks less shitty. How would one do that?

The "mismatching instance" is likely to happen on phtn.app because the default instance for new users is lemdro.id and you're on feddit.org.

I'm not exactly sure how to resolve this. I guess I could make it so that if you only have a single guest account (people who dont use the threadiverse with an account), it'll automatically create a new one for that specific instance.
