How do I cross post on lemmy?

    I think you have to do it manually. I haven’t seen any short cut myself.

    I don’t use lemmy but apparently there is a button a bit hidden somewhere. I believe this question was asked here earlier today.

      You are Posting from a lemmy instance on a lemmy instance, how do you NOT use lemmy?

        I’m not posting from a lemmy instance. I’m posting from a kbin instance and therefore not using lemmy.

            I thought it works both ways. You just need to add the kbin magazine to lemmy.

                Oh, I just assumed it would work. But indeed it does not work in the way you described (and that’s how it works on kbin as well). I was curious and did some searching. I stumbled upon this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/225841 and apparently you need to paste the whole URL from kbin in the search bar and then it shows up (I tested it on a lemmy instance and it seemed to work).

                Edit: And it shows that federation does not always work great. Since your instance had 0 replies but that instance had replies and the correct one as well. Didn’t notice it was the same question/post until after posting this.

                  Thats ok, happens all the time ^^ At least we both now Know what to Do and hopefully in a couple of month lemmy will be better federating with kbin. Right now we are all “Pioneers”
