If there was an ellipse or a shortenend link in the post you saw, then the full content and unshortened link are probably here. Otherwise, sorry, this is the post you just saw.
How can you tell if a link is just a permalink? Well, on microblogging services I use a shortlink ending with /t* at the very end of the post. On long-form services you can probably tell that the title of the link is a complete post instead of just a headline by the way it's written.
Please accept this cute picture as an apology:
