    The grey chain icon, goes to the post or comment address on your instance.

    The colored federation icon, goes to the home instance address of the community the post or comment is part of.

      I have no idea what you just said and suspect it will make sense to more I use Lemmy. Appreciate the explanation.

        Let me put it another way.

        When you want to bookmark the link, or open annother tab to view the thread yourself, you want use the grey chain link.

        When you want to share a link publicly, or give it to some random you don’t know, the colored network link is probably more appropriate.
