I can’t give a universal link to a post obviously …
Tee-hee :) Point taken though!
No way to cross post is there?
Also would be neat to have a blended account feature - infosec.exchange is defederated from sh.itjust.works even though we’re OK I swear. Might be time to raise that discussion again.
Anyway only seeing this because of the repost. And for the visually paired (easy of seeing?) (not blind?), screenshots of text can sometimes have a je ne sais quoi. A bit of text fitting just so in the right font, maybe a light background breaking the monotony of one’s dark mode…
Screenshots, surprisingly resilient in $current_year. One day Lemmy could autotranscribe screenshots and include original post date, platform, author… maybe how deep fried it was too.
Yeah, cross-posts would be a new post from me, rather than the original from e.g. George Takei, which isn’t ideal.
I hadn’t really thought about defederation between servers running both Mastodon and Lemmy. I guess that post wouldn’t show up on sh.itjust.works (I’ll have a look if anyone subscribes from there)
Hmmm, that’s not defederation though. The community’s outbox has the 20 most recent posts in, and that cat gif is currently at number 20. The only way those earlier posts can be there are if someone brought though the community a day or so ago and then didn’t subscribe. If anyone ever does subscribe, I can manually send the rest (and can see if the infosec one fails)
Lemmy World & Midwest Social show the community and the latest post. JustWorks doesn’t show the latest post. Infosec doesn’t show the community. Lemmon doesn’t seem to have an actual homepage, but looks a bit like an RSS feed; the Tails community there 403s.
Defed Investigator can’t find Lemmon but reports on some communities which are federated with it. Infosec is reportedly federated but doesn’t show the community.
1.) what’s an outbox (on Lemmy)?
2.) “if someone brought though the community a day or so ago and then didn’t subscribe.”?
3.) “manually send the rest”? Also you’re the Lemmon admin?
Honestly I feel like a screenshot of a toot is better than just seeing a Lemmy-formated toot.
Maybe a cross-post feature which generates what the screenshot effectively shows but formatted in html to match mastodon formatting with functioning links that’s hosted on the instance the Lemmy community is in to avoid federation issues?
Edit to add: on the other hand I regularly forward the screenshots to friends on other platforms, so I’d either screenshot the thing created to stop screenshots or need a share/download button to create a image because I know my friends ain’t interested in clicking a wierd fediverse link to view a 2 sentence joke they may or may not find funny
We’re stuck with the HTML formatting that lemmy provides us, unfortunately. It’s not just about an image vs. text though - it’s also about being from the original author. OP for this post is getting plenty of replies, but I’ve no idea if it’s an issue they care about, or just something they saw and found passingly amusing.
As for sending on, a screenshot to friends on non-ActivityPub platforms is more reasonable (although being text means you could just copy/paste it, and then include any friends with vision impairments too).
But yeah, there’s lots of pro’s to a screenshot that I don’t have an argument against (I posted in this thread, but it’s not like I’m going to show up everytime someone yoinks something from Mastodon)

Here’s the most recent post I (on justworks) see:
Defederation can hurt

Hmm, I don’t understand.

Oh yeah I was just imagining out loud what a better way of handling cross-posted content across federated platforms could look like
