Contexte culturel
In Russia, Telegram is the king of communication. 'Скинуть ссылку' almost always implies sending it via Telegram. It's common to share links to 'channels' which act like blogs. Russian developers often use 'линк' (link) instead of 'ссылка'. They might also say 'расшарить' (to share) if they are giving permissions to a document. Younger generations use 'личка' (DMs) as the destination for links to keep the main group chat clean. Sharing links to products on marketplaces like Ozon or Wildberries is a national pastime. People often 'скидывают ссылки' to compare prices or show off finds.
Use 'мне'
Always add 'мне' (to me) to sound more natural when asking: 'Скинь мне ссылку'.
Don't be too formal
Using 'отправить' with close friends can make you sound like a computer or a textbook.
