    You should use the original link as the post link, then lemmy will automatically reference the cross-posts (also the cross-post link will be instance agnostic so it won’t pull people out of their local instance).

    If you edit the post it should sort itself out.

    • Hm, could you explain how is that supposed to work in more detail? I still see the cross post link as taking me to the other instance; furthermore, even the share link and “open in browser” in Liftoff are taking me out of the instance 🤔

        I think maybe not all apps show the automated cross-post link - I’m not seeing it right now on Jerboa. But yeah I think basically your instance checks the link against all other links it has (both local communities and federated) then it just adds cross-post links for each one, as well as a link to the new post in the old posts.
