How to repost a Fediverse post to a specific Lemmy community?

It is this even possible?

  • I'm literally just now looking into that. Lemmy seems walled off somewhat though. Kinda confusing, it being part of the Fediverse and all. Or am I missing something? πŸ€”

  • There is a repost button when you view a post in Lemmy (icon with two squares).

  • I don't think so. Lemmy communities are a form of a group, and Lemmy posts are in effect boosts by the community. It seems to me in theory it should be possible for a regular fedi post to be boosted by a community group, but I don't think Lemmy has a way of doing it right now?

    • What do you mean by a "regular fedi post"? Something like a Mastodon toot made outside of any community? It's not possible to view that from Lemmy, because Lemmy fundamentally only supports content which is in a community (except private messages).

    • I would imagine it to be possible to cross-post a fediverse post to a community, but I'm not managing to search and view any non-lemmy post in lemmy to try it.

    • I was wondering if it was possible to follow other fedi posts from my Lemmy instance, but it doesn't seem so. Maybe I'm missing something

      • I don't think you're missing anything. Lemmy just does not have UI plumbing for that, I believe.
