The post you mentioned ('melting is tough') isn't picked up as a cross-post on PieFed instances because the dates are too far apart. A restriction that Rimu wanted was that they should only be detected if they were within 7 days of one another.

However, if you take that URL (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/91f96cc8-a194-4cb8-abc6-505261e65420.jpeg), and make a new post with it, then the post you mentioned now shows that it has a cross-post.

It's doesn't seem like feddit.online is aware of the other community (forumlibre@jlai.lu), so it doesn't have a copy of both posts, so it doesn't know that they are cross-posts.

If you bring that community into feddit.online, then create a post with the same URL as a recent post (e.g. https://files.catbox.moe/pebvir.jpeg), then they'll show up.

So... I made sure to federate !forumlibre@jlai.lu to feddit.online. I joined it then done the same test : A crosspost from Lemmy to Lemmy with no external reference but a text body and still no crosspost is picked up by Piefed

Hey, it’s me.

How can Piefed know it’s a crosspost if there’s no common link between the two posts (usually the link to the article in most posts, or the picture for some others) ?

If I remember correctly, Lemmy matches two posts with the exact same title. I think I don't it by mistake once. Maybe Piefed do the same, maybe it is implemented differently.

Let me check.

I was mistaken. Lemmy only detected automatically the link when title, body and external reference where the same. It did not do it when the title and body was the same on posts without external references.

Indeed, that makes sense as the title can be edited, while the URL to the external resource can’t
