I tried cross-posting from within the app, but the results were not what I expected when compared to the Lemmy desktop UI.

Cross-posting using the Eternity app yields this result: https://sh.itjust.works/post/8099344

Post URL links to itself (not very useful)
Post body contains only the name of the original community with no link or content

Cross-posting using the Lemmy desktop UI yields this result: https://sh.itjust.works/post/8144232

Post URL links to the article (actually useful)
Post body contains a link to the original post and quotes the content of the original post body

Edit to add tags: "cross post" "cross-post" "crosspost"

The app should make use of Lemmy's cross-posting API instead. I should create an issue on Codeberg for this functionality as well.

UPDATE: Fixed this issue here.

Thanks, that's awesome!

My app doesn't seem to have updated since Oct 25th. Is there anything special I need to do on my end? I joined the beta on Google Play, but don't see any pending updates.

I don't think the fix has been pushed to a new release yet. I just encountered it myself.
