the cross-post button is the correct way to do it, but sometimes I do delete the > at the start of each line to remove the quote block
currently the “cross-posted to:” thing is based on the link URL, so text-posts don’t have that for now, but any link post will get it automatically if you used the cross-post button
(easy solution is to have a url for every post, even if it’s just a simple image)
if you don’t want to make a github account, then probably !lemmy
but you can still search and read the github issues without making an account, so you could check if it already exists, or link the issue if you’re starting a lemmy discussion about it
also people should search the issues on github, a few of these questions already have issues filed with discussions in them, put a thumbs up on a github issue if it’s something you want
this line was causing it to fail to start, I commented it out and it started working, then I needed to clear my local cookies to load the page for some reason
