Lemmy link posts not showing in Calckey

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

      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.
