It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

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.

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

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.
