Can’t you crosspost this, or is this for the benefit of people whose instances have defederated from lemmy.world?
I’m not used to cross posting on Lemmy, clicking on the post itself should take you to the original yes? Is there a more overt way to cross post?
You can click on the post, but you can’t interact with it if you’re not logged into a lemmy.world account.
In the standard lemmy web client, under the post there’s a button to the right of the “favourite”-star that takes you to a dialogue to crosspost the post. Of course, you need to actually get to the post from your account first; IDK how to link to specific posts on different instances in this way, but you can link to communities in this way: [email protected] - it takes me to the address https://feddit.org/c/[email protected], which is that post’s community as seen from my own instance, you will see it from your own instance, assuming your client has implemented this feature. Once you’re there, you can scroll and ctrl-f a bit to get to the post (https://feddit.org/post/16080193 for me).
I’m using Sync, I used the “Share” option on the original post to copy the URL and use it for the post here.
I’m not logged into a lemmy.world account and I can interact with it no problem, but I know that’s just a “it works on my machine”.
Is my edit better?
No, the link in your post still takes me to the lemmy.world website.
I tried navigating through the web client, but that seems worse, it doesn’t link anywhere. This one worked fine in web though. I dunno, I can’t replicate your issue.
Well, the post links the image directly (which is at least convenient for looking at it without having to navigate to a different webpage), but it doesn’t link to the original post so it’s not really a crosspost …
Oh, weird, it’s the exact opposite for me. The first one takes me directly to the original, the second doesn’t link to the original at all. Maybe it’s a Sync thing?
