@test
All in all you could somewhat easily "crosspost" in your home instance and lemmy as long as you don't overdo it with the tags as they don't look that pretty in a lemmy post body 😏
i'm kinda curious why some communities boost your posts and others don't though
@test Final observations: Emojis do not federate :(
comments do now, but so far I only see my convo with Rubi and not Nighten's comment.
Tags are also clickable in the lemmy version of the post, and they lead to the tags of my home instance.
Likes show up as upvotes as expected, links work as well.
The main post also shows up in the regular home platform search under the used tags.
@TheCrimsonSpark @test Yeah, you have to manually crosspost on lemmy instead, theres a button for it 🤔 Just wanted to see how much you can do without leaving your home platform
@test This one shows up on feddit properly! Conclusion: don't tag more than one community I suppose :blobcat:

Current findings:
The post immediately showed up in the techncs community, image and all, but it didn't get boosted on here. The image description didn't federate though. The feddit community did nothing at all.
After I added the sh.itjust.works community, it actually boosted the post as expected and now when i click on the original post on tchncs, it redirects me to the sh.itjust.works version suddenly 🤔
Comments did not federate at all, but maybe I just broke it

This is a test comment with a bunch of custom emotes :blobcat: :blobaww: :Blobhaj:
@lorty I'm trying to clear Eureka Orthos (which would be my first Deep Dungeon clear) for glam. Apart from that I'd like to finish the raid tier as well, I've only cleared P8S :/
@ffxiv My takeaways so far:
- Chat bubbles are on the way!
- 2-Dye channels look pretty good
- Yoshi-P mentioned multiple times that they want to get more experimental with mechanics again, and I can't wait to see what they'll come up with!
- I'm still unsure if I'll like PCT or not - the paint mechanic looks kind of annoying to use with the cast-time, still gonna try it though
