I’m trying to figure out how to create a post that shows up in more than one community. There is a pull down menu to select one community but it doesn’t seem like more than one can be selected. I think that I’ve seen other people do it. I’ve searched for it but haven’t found an answer. The join lemmy intro website does not seem mention it either. on https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html . Is there a Lemmy posting tips and tricks summary somewhere other than the RTFM option?
once you post to one community, if you press the little “copy” icon you can x-post to another community
Thanks! Will the comments from each separate community get merged into one post, or will the comments stay separate to each community where the comments are made?
unfortunately[1] no, they count as two separate posts
there will be a little thing under the title saying “cross-posted from x” (example)
subjectively ↩︎
Oh well, thanks for the quick responses, I was able to figure it out! Hopefully in the future both posts from multiple communities can be merged if it’s pointing to the same article/source. It would reduce the clutter.
no worries, glad you got it working
i don’t know if they will though - i think the plan for lemmy is to be more “community” based, so comment sections from different communities sort of go against that (which i can understand in some ways - if someone x-posted from e.g. !trans to !gendercritical, i wouldn’t really want the comment sections to be merged)
