I’m trying out starting a new community.
I wanted to crosspost some posts I already made elsewhere, e.g. https://piefed.social/post/984528 / https://lemmy.ca/post/46999890
But there’s no crosspost button.
- Is there a way to do it?
- And I’m curious: why is there no crosspost button for so many posts?
You must log in or register to comment.
I opened a issue on codeberg, I hope it helps.

Crossposts (be it on Lemmy or Piefed) rely on links to get identified.
Piefed only offers crossposts for posts with links (be it to articles or pictures). Lemmy ignores that and offers to crossposts anything, but then the posts wouldn’t be identified as crossposts.
I’m personally using my Lemmy account when I need to do so.
Let’s see how the conversation goes here, if needed I can open an issue on the Codeberg project to track that improvement.
Is this why some cross posts aren’t filtering out of my home feed? Maddening.
Probably
Thanks for the response.
I guess I assumed the post itself (not just a link it contains) had its own… ID? Or something, and that’s how things got crossposted.
Yes that would be a better way to do it :)
No, unfortunately that’s not the case.
Example:
The posts don’t show up as crossposts from each other
Tricky thing to solve, It might be an idea to assign some kind of ID / Hash / HomeURL to a post.
