    I wrote up a detailed explanation to respond to each question, but in short, making a new post would be simplest. If you want to play around with it, you can try editing this post further since it is possible to make it identical to what you’d get by pressing the button.

    I see why I was stuck here. I was using https://lemmy.world/post/26364778 and I can’t see the two squares button.

    Yes, each instance is a separate “website”, managed by a separate team. Login details aren’t shared between instances with Lemmy.

    This article has a diagram of how it works:

    https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview#where-are-the-communities

    One confusing aspect is that the post ID (the numbers after /post/) is also different, since each instance manages the number separately. So on lemmy.ca, the original post has an ID of 40107104, while lemmy.world assigned a different ID to the post. There are discussions about changing that in a future version of Lemmy, but for now you will need to know the correct URL for the post.

    If you don’t have the local post link, you can find it by copy pasting the original link (https://lemmy.world/post/26364778) into the search on lemmy.ca

    I copied the source code to my post, but it didn’t show the count of comments in feddit.uk

    This is also normal. A crosspost behaves like a regular new post, and there isn’t any hidden information, only the contents that you can edit.

    Some apps and interfaces try to identify crossposts, but they do this by comparing the text in the title/link/post body.

    Here is a test post I made using the crosspost button, to compare what it looks like:

    As you can see, my post also doesn’t show any additional information on the official web interface.

    Meanwhile if you look at the same posts on the Photon theme/interface:

    My crosspost shows the extra information, while your post currently does not. I think it’s because the original post had an image link while your post doesn’t. Easiest would be to make a new post by using the crosspost button. If you want, you can also crosspost it (to !test@lemmy.ca for example) and then press edit to see what is different.

    Let me know if anything is unclear, I’m happy to clarify further! I’ll see about making an explanation article about this, since other people might be wondering about it as well.

    There might be some changes that could improve it further:

    • Remove Brave
    • Maybe add Signal; It’s easier than Element, but it’s also centralized
    • Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
    • Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
    • Add GrapheneOS
    • Maybe add Delta chat
    • Maybe remove Bluesky
    • Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it’s selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)
    • Add ente because Immich is selfhosted
    • Add aurora
    • Add SearxNG
    • Add SimpleX
    • Add lichess
    • Add pCloud

    Any other suggestions?

    Temporary improved version:

    From To Compromise
    X, Threads Mastodon Bluesky
    Instagram Pixelfed
    YouTube PeerTube ReVanced (just blocks adds)
    Reddit Lemmy
    Netlix, Disney+ 🔨 Jellyfin

    This works :)

    How should I cross-post a page from another community properly?

    Which app are you using? Some apps have a cross post button. If you’re using the website (lemmy.ca), there should be a crosspost icon (two squares)

    You can also do it manually fairly easily. Copy and paste the post body into your new post, and paste in a link to the original post. You can then use the quote formatting to make it identical to what you’d get by using the button.

    I’ll reply to this comment with the contents that come up when I hit cross post on that original post

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_on_the_Rights_of_Indigenous_Peoples

    The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP or DOTROIP[1]) is a legally non-binding United Nations resolution passed by the United Nations in 2007 that delineates and defines the individual and collective rights of indigenous peoples, including their ownership rights, cultural and ceremonial expression, identity, language, employment, health, education, and other issues. Their ownership also extends to the protection of their Indigenous intellectual property.[2] The declaration “emphasizes the rights of Indigenous peoples to maintain and strengthen their own institutions, cultures and traditions, and to pursue their development in keeping with their own needs and aspirations.”[3] It “prohibits discrimination against indigenous peoples and promotes their full and effective participation in all matters that concern them, and their right to remain distinct and to pursue their own visions of economic and social development”

    Excerpt from the article:

    Carney opened Friday’s forum by reiterating a commitment to reconciliation, and admitted that there is much more to do on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) Act and its action plan, the calls for justice from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action.

    UNDRIP is a human rights instrument that acknowledges Indigenous Peoples have the right to give or withhold consent for projects that impact them. The Conservatives have opposed this policy as a “veto,” while the Liberals passed legislation in 2021 requiring federal laws be harmonized with UNDRIP.
