Please use crosspost feature

This feature is a lifesaver for fediverse. It allows you to see from a general perspective, reduces confusion and creates a more organized forum environment. Thank you to everyone who has already used this feature and I highly recommend everyone to use it.

I wish it would combine comments for crossposts. It doesn’t have to break per-server instance bans or anything like that. Just combine the comments for servers that are friendly with each other.

the issue with it for me is that it doesn’t show who crossposted from who, so it can cause misattribution unless you go out of your way to compare the dates of when the posts were made

It doesn't really exist in software I'm using:(

Be nice if the option existed on more apps (if any at all have it).

Raccon for Lemmy have cross-post feature

One problem I have with the crosspost feature is that the body text of the original post is just copied, rather than embedded. If the body text of the original post is edited, any crossposts are not updated. For all of its other shortcomings, I think Reddit’s implementation of crossposts is currently better.

xnx ,

I wish comments appeared on all the crossposted posts

This would be great, and it would even be great to be able to see certain communities together directly.

Crossposting from popular posts is also a good way to promote your smaller communities!

Not sure which version everyone is on but the cross-posting button is broken in the latest Lemmy version. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I find that sometimes when I try to crosspost and select the community to crosspost to, the entite “Create Post” page resets, and I have to type everything out all over again. Is there any fix for this?

Indeed, I was going to comment “cross-post, the feature that doesn’t work for all the instances in 0.19.4?”

I never really understood how cross posting works here. You mind telling us the benefits? Does it consolidate all of the discussions in each cross post into one big long thread? 🤔

It doesn’t combine them (because different people are subbed to different communities, although what you bring up has been discussed on the github for a while). The biggest thing though is discoverability, where your post is shown in multiple communities easily. Another added benefit is that there are less duplicated posts, your app/device can see that it was crossposted and show you only one in your feed rather than 3,5, 10 duplicate posts (and then you can tab between them)

How many apps support this though? My preferred one certainly doesn’t.
