How can I crosspost? (sh.itjust.works)

With the website there's a handy crosspost button when I'm scrolling a feed. Is there similar way to crosspost with Sync?

Sync doesn't seem to have a cross-posting method. The (one) time I did one, it was because I was on the pwa instead of Sync.

At the moment the crosspost mechanism of Lemmy is to simply link submissions with the same URLs.

If OP copies the URL and reposts it in another community, it will automatically link them as crosspost at the server level.

If OP copies the URL and reposts it in another community,

Which url? Sync shows a link to the post preview and a link to the post comments.

You can only crosspost a submission that links to another website or an image. You can't crosspost a text-only submission in Lemmy at the moment.

Good to know. Thanks.

Excellent - thanks for the explanation! (I guess the cross post button just makes that easy.) If I paid closer attention, I may have noticed that, but I hadn't yet.

Thanks again!

No there's actually a crosspost button under posts on the webui

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

This is actually what the crosspost button does. It copies the URL of the post and let you select in which community you want to put it.

Huh, I thought there was more to it than that. Thanks for the clarification.

That's what I thought. ๐Ÿ˜ข

For what it's worth, I checked under the share action, but that only pops up the system share sheet.

Just thought I'd reply to you, in case you didn't see the other reply that had a better answer than mine.

^(sometimes I lose track of a post once I have an answer so this is me trying to be helpful^)

Thanks for pointing that out! You're right. I would have missed it.
