@JupiterRowland That’s actually a really stupid restriction considering that crossposting is valid and if it wasn’t believed to be, why the fuck would Lemmy itself even offer the feature natively on their own platform?

@lemmy_support

@JupiterRowland Ok but does this actually solve the issue of not being able to post to multiple Lemmy communties at once? As far as I can tell when you make two mentions to Lemmy communties the first one will go through, second one will fail. If one is a guppe group both will fail since Lemmy only allows one post to go through for some reason.

@lemmy_support

@andrew_s Ok that makes more sense but I do know I’ve tried it other times when there was no user and it posted to one community but not the other.
@lemmy_support

@db0 on Mastodon it just boosts the posts, I assume that’s what Lemmy also does in addition to copying it and formatting the data as a post.

If I oversimplified or got that wrong I’d definitely appreciate if @dessalines or @nutomic could correct me on that. As far as I know there doesn’t seem to be a reason why the same post can’t appear simultaneously in multiple communties, since they’re just boosts and duplicates on the federated instances. @lemmy_support

@db0 Might be, I can’t be sure if it’s just the first one, or random. I don’t really want to try, my instance admin might not be too happy with me posting too many test posts in the name of science.

Though the weird thing is that it just straight up denies it even if the other groups aren’t Lemmy or federate with Lemmy, which Guppe groups don’t.
