How to crosspost a "non-link" post? (piefed.social)

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?

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.

Yes that would be a better way to do it :)
