I hadn’t gone exploring through the settings till now. You can add a share button for your instance by going to Settings > Sharing > Add sharing method. After that you just paste in your instance URL (ex. https://lemmy.ca for me). The steps are the same for both Lemmy and Mastodon

Makes it much easier to share content here :)

As for the setting I was looking for, press “J” to jump to the next article

    So, just to split hairs: Lemmy is a link aggregator, so it’s really better suited for this than Mastodon by design. BTW, please don’t make Mastodon a linkdump (I use that more than Lemmy) 🙂

    Also, if you’re using a feed reader and Lemmy for news, then yes. There will be duplicates, but that is pretty much a problem in your setup, isn’t it? Can’t really fault either app for it.

    All that said, I completely agree that just posting an URL without context or comment is unhelpful on any social platform. It’s always good to know what has motivated someone else to share a news item (especially in politics and other sports!).
