How to crosspost a "non-link" post?

I’m trying out starting a new community.

  • !action_movies@piefed.social
  • https://piefed.social/c/action_movies

I wanted to crosspost some posts I already made elsewhere, e.g. https://piefed.social/post/984528 / https://lemmy.ca/post/46999890

But there’s no crosspost button.

  1. Is there a way to do it?
  2. And I’m curious: why is there no crosspost button for so many posts?

    Thanks for the response.

    I guess I assumed the post itself (not just a link it contains) had its own… ID? Or something, and that’s how things got crossposted.

      Yes that would be a better way to do it :)

      No, unfortunately that’s not the case.

      Example:

      • https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47373666?scrollToComments=true
      • https://vger.social/post/20512447

      The posts don’t show up as crossposts from each other

        Tricky thing to solve, It might be an idea to assign some kind of ID / Hash / HomeURL to a post.
