I believe this is a lemmy.world-specific configuration issue. Have you tried reaching out to the admins?

I get this on Sync. I send my friend (who also has Sync) the link and they've told me I have to share images directly. I'm not sure if the platforms communicate
I’m on lemm.ee, running the iOS TestFlight version of voyager. Here is what I get when I use the “…” menu to share a comment on this post:
https://lemmy.world/comment/2894198
Edit: yep, same issue for me. When I got to safari and go to the url, It wants to download something instead of going to the comment.
Edit 2: this doesn’t appear to be a voyager specific issue. I navigated to this comment in safari while logged out of lemmy - so directly on lemmy.world. If I press the link button on a comment (next to the user name), it opens the comment as expected. BUT if I try to use the url it took me to, I get the “download” issue.
Edit 3: I tried the same thing on a lemm.ee comment and didn’t have an issue on initial testing. My assumption is that this is, indeed, a lemmy.world problem.
