I don't know why this particular solution didn't initially resonate with me, other than my doggedly wanting to link to THE ORIGINAL source, but with the recent demise of my locally-hosted instance of ShareNews, I've been searching for other ways to circumvent Facebook's ban on sharing news sites.
I discovered a couple of solid commercial options in ShareKit and Rebrandly that I'll keep in my back pocket, but I prefer not to pay if I don't have to. (side note: news links shared through Bit.ly and any customized rebrands of it are also blocked by FB) Next up was a locally-hosted version of YOURLs, but just as I was about to deploy that I realized the solution had been there all along, even as already noted by me:
Send the link to the Internet Archive using the Wayback Machine browser extension, then paste the resulting URL into Facebook. This method has the advantage of ensuring your newsworthy article is saved for others to view in perpetuity, should it disappear from the original location for any reason.
The extension is available for FF, Safari, Chrome and Edge, and also as an app for iOS and Android, so this should cover pretty much any platform on which you prefer to work.
Here's a quick screencast showing it in action. It's actually faster than my previous solution. The only potential drawback is that FB bans all links from the Internet Archive, but I'm sure lots of folks have been using this option since the ban began, and they haven't yet, so fingers crossed!
Oh, and other options include posting a news link to a social media site such as Mastodon or Twitter, then posting the link to that post into FB, but then you lose the open graph data that makes the post so much more fulsome. Metadata FTW!
