For me, using latest PF software, those ellipses appear all the way on the right side:
When I click on them, I get offered a whopping 17 different options, but not a “crosspost” ability. Closest option seems to be ‘Move to Another Community,’ but I thought that was more a case where the original community is abandoned, and you’re trying to salvaging content to a more current or related community?
That’s strange! Does it appear on posts with a link? If not then it’s probably some bug. If you still have a Lemmy account, you can cross-post from it and then enable notifications on the second post in Piefed. At least, that’s what I used to do back when Piefed couldn’t cross-post pictures.
Ah no, that got nuked when Lemm.ee crashed (over a year ago). Not saying I doubt you, Lucy (pleased to meet you), but I’m guessing cross-posting is fully working via Lemmy, but not quite so on PF?

It used to be limited to posts with a link on PieFed until some versions ago when the functionality was extended to posts with an image. It still works perfectly fine on my instance that runs an older version of PF.
Lemmy, on the other hand, supports cross-posting any kind of post, including those without links and images.
Well, not to beat this topic to death, but earlier today I dug around the PF Help comm and found fairly contradictory results about cross-posting. The one thing I know for sure is that some people can do it on PF, and usually, the option will appear as two arrows circling each other, sort of like a recycling symbol. Just that so far it didn’t appear for me, and it wasn’t clear why. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Then I posted this just a few moments ago… https://piefed.social/c/lego@lemmy.world/p/2272200/escher-like-waterfall-fountain-with-thousands-of-crystals-by-jarren-harkema
And then BAM, suddenly the symbol showed up for me! Which I immediately pounced upon, cross-posting to the other major LEGO community (on PF.S). I notice that the cross-posting symbol also appears on the 2nd post, too. And yet going back to my own community (on PF.S), my posts still don’t have the symbol on them.
So… in future, guess I’ll just use the feature when it’s available, or link when it’s not. insert 2nd shrug-emoji
That’s how it looks to me in Piefed:
Although I noticed that you didn’t use cross-post feature. It’s the rightmost button here:
It should hide duplicate posts, at least in Piefed. It’s much better than manually copying over your posts!

Like what, for example?

Hello!
Same deal as above. The option just doesn’t appear there, or from the ellipses. I’ll have to scour PF Help when I get a chance to see what’s what.
The plot thickens…
