On lemmy you can cross-post (share) posts to other communities. On piefed I couldn’t find anything similar. Am I missing something?

      It’s a known issue that we have done some work on: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/996

      I took a crack at crossposting images when I added the feature to add alt text for a link post, but ran into some issues that were non-trivial to solve. I think it’s a fixable problem though, just that there’s only so much time for us few devs to put towards it.

      Basically any change to the make_post or edit_post functions can introduce a lot of potential bugs, so I didn’t want to try to push for this feature right before we were planning on 1.3 releasing. I will be taking a look at this though as well as custom thumbnails soon™.
