How do I properly link to a post? (self.lemmyworld)

So I know about /c/[email protected] for communities and /u/[email protected] for users, but how do I link to individual posts in a way that won't be a hassle for people in other instances?

I don't even see that icon on posts (desktop, web), only on comments. So now I'm even more confused! :D

Update to my own confusion:

  1. You see the rainbow icon on posts that aren't from your home instance. This icon takes you to the full original URL of that post on the remote instance.

  2. The regular chain link icon on comments does indeed give you a link to a comment via your home instance. But that's no good if you're trying to link it agnostically for everyone else.
