Cross-post using Jerboa

Jerboa@lemmy.ml – 19 points – 1 years ago

Is it possible to cross-post using ~~Jebora~~ Jerboa?

Since this helps greatly spreading posts in the Fediverse especially if they are initially posted in smaller instances or to find communities on similar topics.

Is there already an option and I have just missed it?

Edit: It's Jerboa, Jerboa dammit!

I'm surprised that you managed to misspell Jerboa twice in a row

I don't know why this keeps happening! argh!

I believe any two posts linking to the same URL are treated as a cross-post, and that is discovered at instance-level. There's nothing more to it than creating two posts in different communities with the same link.

ETA: But to answer your question directly, there's no support for doing that as a single action with Jerboa yet.

I don't even know how to cross post on the normal website

There is an extra icon for cross-posting
