Here is a 4-days old post that I just crosspost from and to Lemmy
https://feddit.online/post/165936
It is not pickup as crosspost either.
Then I tried to crosspost it from Lemmy to Piefed using the link of the image and got an error. But many parameter could be the cause. I'll try again.
It's doesn't seem like feddit.online is aware of the other community (
[email protected]
), 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.
Beginner mistake. Always make sure to follow a remote community before using it in test 🤦 Thanks!
So... I made sure to federate [email protected] 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.
First case

Second case

Indeed, that makes sense as the title can be edited, while the URL to the external resource can't
As pointed out in another comment
That's how Lemmy works too. Trust me, I crosspost quite a lot, as you know
Maybe that's how Lemmy detects crossposting but there is a visual mark of the crosspost in the interface and I have access to a link to the post in the other community that opens in my instance rather than in another instance. That is something very practical that make Lemmy crossposts more than posts with similar content. And that is something I didn't find in Piefed.
Yes, as mentioned in the other comment with the GitHub ticket, it's not implemented yet
