Lemmy link posts not showing in Calckey (self.stop_russia)

I noticed earlier today that @picard@mas.to post about Sweet Darusya isn't showing on calckey and neither is another post by @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone. It turns out that if you put a link into URL field when making a new post, it might not show outside lemmy. It means that anyone who follows the group on calckey will not see them and therefore can not boost.

Okay, will bear in mind. These are reddit style link posts. But if they don't even show up in Calckey (do they in mastodon? Anyone know?) then it will make it harder to boost and share. Technically we could link the lemmy post directly in a calckey/mastodon toot, but that kind of defeats the point... blobcat, notlikethiscry

@toni @dana

The first photo is what showed up in my home timeline (I have followed Stop Russian Colonialist Aggression)

The second photo is where clicking on the main link led to, it opens in a new tab taking me to a new space (I have my browser set to open clicked links in new tabs)

The review that it leads to has links in it and they show in a different color and can be linked.

I run Linux Mint 21 and use Firefox and am on an account in Mastodon running a different base code with an add name that I cannot remember right now (brain fog issue) but if necessary I can do the research. (just found it, glich-soc)

@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Somewhat annoyingly, pictures attached when you reply in Mastodon do not show up here in Lemmy either. And I'm unable to upload any pictures in Lemmy - get a json error.

But I see your pictures in Mastodon when this group boosted it (strange), and confirm same for me - my review post and Dana's podcast post both appeared in my feed boosted by the group. Don't know about Calckey, instance having major slowdowns so not checking much in the evenings.

@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Followed the group in Akkoma so will report on there next time a post is added with URL - my understanding is old posts do not get populated when first followed, or something, so need to wait for a new one with URL.

Oh and still can't reply to most posts in Lemmy, hence here from Mastodon.

@picard@mas.to @I_Like_Books@strangeobject.space @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone @dana@lemmy.blahaj.zone I definitely CAN reply in #Lemmy, only not to replies made in #Calckey or #Mastodon, because for some reason lemmy just spins forever and never posts the reply in those cases. But it definitely works fine replying to the original lemmy post, and to replies made in lemmy.

@toni@blahaj.zone @I_Like_Books @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone @dana Oh well spotted - yes I think that's what is happening for me too, couldn't figure out why some replies with my Lemmy account worked and some didn't...
