This is a good idea. It’d be neat to get fediverse services, including lemmy, supporting this. We could make cross site interactions so much easier.
I love my Mastodon plugin, but wish I could have a Lemmy plugin to easily share stuff. It would be much more constructive than sharing on Mastodon too, as the format for sharing content that is made by someone else is more suited to Lemmy in my opinion.
