That means if it's a YouTube video, post the link to YouTube, not invidious or peertube or whatever. If the client wants to load YouTube in the browser, or the app, or revanced, or newpipe, or whatever, let them do that themselves.
But what if the content is original? Let’s say I do want to share an orginal lemmy post?
Use the crosspost function for that. All the clients I've used have supported it.
Assuming you're posting to Lemmy, anyway. If not, you want to hit the fediverse button (rainbow network icon) first, then share that URL. At least that's how you do it in the default web client, yours may be different.
