      It points to the lemmy instance the post has been published on. It is useful if you want to share a generic link to a post with someone and maybe don’t want to share the information on what instance you created your account on, because the other permalink button always references to the instance of your account.

      Lemmy is divided in all connected servers or instances, where they host their own communities. The button brings you to the webpage where the post is being hosted on, if its different from the server you are connected to.
