How to crosspost a "non-link" post?

I'm trying out starting a new community.

I wanted to crosspost some posts I already made elsewhere, e.g. piefed.social/post/984528 / lemmy.ca/post/46999890

But there's no crosspost button.
1. Is there a way to do it?
2. And I'm curious: why is there no crosspost button for so many posts?

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.

FYI @rimu@piefed.social

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.

No, unfortunately that's not the case.

Example:
- lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47373666…
- vger.social/post/20512447

The posts don't show up as crossposts from each other

Experimental Piefed support is now available for Voyager


I'm excited to announce that Voyager now has experimental support for logging in with Piefed! You can try it out today on:

This will roll out to the official app stores and vger.app soon(tm), once I’m confident there are no major regressions. If you prefer not to switch to beta builds, just hang tight.

Please note that Piefed support is EXPERIMENTAL! There are still many things that don't work quite right, which I'm hoping to improve over the coming weeks.

The basics including scrolling home/all/local, viewing posts, blocking, commenting and voting should work well. However there are some known issues:

  • Can't sign up for a Piefed account in-app, only log in with an existing one
  • Subscribed communities list is empty (should be fixed soon!)
  • Inbox tab doesn't load
  • Comment search doesn't work
  • Profile upvoted/downvoted doesn't load
  • No moderation tools
  • Mark as read doesn't persist
  • Creating/editing posts is currently untested
  • ...probably a bunch of other stuff too, please let me know below!

Behind the scenes, this interoperability is made possible thanks to aeharding/threadiverse, a new library I am working on to normalize various threadiverse-software APIs. It's open source so any project use it, but it's under heavy development right now. What's cool about this is in the future, adding support for mbin, or whatever else is possible!

Again, feel free to try it out and let me know if there are any more issues to be documented and fixed.

Tricky thing to solve,
It might be an idea to assign some kind of ID / Hash / HomeURL to a post.

Yes that would be a better way to do it 😀

Is this why some cross posts aren't filtering out of my home feed? Maddening.

Can't Crosspost Certain posts

Myself and some other users have been getting confused why we couldn't crosspost text posts. Eg. I can't crosspost this https://piefed.social/post/993050 to https://piefed.
