That link is not present on the original at https://lemmy.zip/post/63792557 (to anyone using PieFed, simply clicking that link will automatically translate to the post’s location on your home instance, a highly requested feature, but to avoid that do a right-click then open the link).
But look at the main post page from a PieFed instance like https://piefed.social/c/technology@lemmy.zip/p/2037847/banks-seek-to-offload-risk-to-avoid-choking-on-data-centre-debt or https://piefed.zip/c/technology@lemmy.zip/p/1457315/banks-seek-to-offload-risk-to-avoid-choking-on-data-centre-debt and you will see the second link added, with a non-paywalled link.
PieFed continually impresses the hell outta me, and I love that!!!
I was also frustrated at the lack of non-paywalled link, but your comment prompted me to try long pressing the article link on Thunder and lo and behold there’s an option for alternate sources with a archive.today link.
I find those very frustrating, as they are basically advertisements for you to spend money to read further. i.e. they are a “tease”.
And then not even any conversation about them. I wish the Hot sort for posts would show a lot fewer of those. I find that it helps to unsubscribe from most of the most popular communities - at least on PieFed I always have the option to regain viewing their content at the mere touch of a button, like News and Politics shows it all anyway, so I do not have to be subscribed to see it, and that way it at least declutters my Subscribed feed. Though even the more moderately-populated communities are becoming that way too.
The only link I see is to the same paywalled article and nowhere do I see the words “No Paywall Link”?
Oh wow, this is amazing. It seems like PieFed is adding it automatically! 🤩
The non-paywalled link is to https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.ft.com/content/08aba5e4-5834-4e79-a48d-989a2c5bad0f?syn-25a6b1a6=1.

And while not entirely relevant, it appears to not always be present on PieFed as well - e.g. I do not see it on https://piefed.social/post/2037847/comment/11226397#comment_11226715.

Oh wow I wonder if other apps do similarly - that’s awesome.:-)
Not seeing anything like that on Voyager. Would be nice though, the ammount of posts that are just links to a paywall has been reaching reddit levels.

Interesting! Thanks for the link! I tried viewing this in my browser as well and had the same issue, thought I was losing it 😂
