Would a URL shortener work better for sharing Lemmy links/instances?

I thought it was for shell script aficionados.
yeah, who would ever be on such an instance
haha
Cross-post the thing to another instance, then share that link.
You could always use lemmy.org
How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they're all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.
Are people actually sharing fediverse links directly? I just save the image or copy the link the post is linking to, and share that.

Could build a reverse proxy to mask Lemmy links behind something that seems more legit
