Error 404 when pressing the Fediverse icon in comments
It seems to be a shortcut to open the comment url. Specifically opens the full article but at the height of the comment from which the link was generated, by pressing the icon.
There is a bug and the links are not being generated correctly, because they lack the part of the url that refers to the publication in which the comment has been made.
I will now make a comment to have a practical example.

After reading some answers I have understood that the link does exist, but not to be opened directly from a browser, but to access the answer from other Fediverse platforms. What doesn't make sense is that if you press It from the Lemmy web interface it leads to a 404 error.
The correct address is https://lemmy.ml/post/241826/comment/166757 the same that is generated and copied to clipboard by pressing the icon in the form of links near the Fediverse icon.

in reply to Liwott • • •But it's hard to imagine that it works that way.
Would it, then, be used to republish a comment when the content is accessed from other Fediverse platforms?
Although the link gives an error in the browser, it can actually be used to look for the comment. I used it here from Tusky for Android.
I had to copy the link. I can't imagine what's the context where the icon is used directly without leading to an error, because, anyway, browsing the Lemmy instance, when the Fediverse icon is clicked, a link is opened in a new tab with a 404 error. It's an undesirable behavior.

in reply to O Galdo • •Another idea, so that one does not have to copy paste, may be to open a "remote interaction" pop up that asks you the name of thefedi instance where you want to open the comment in question, similarly to what happens on Peertube
