When I cross post from Micro to Sharkey with a phot it strips the phot from the post.
I know Sharkey just updated, it may be something on their end, since I don’t think there has been any kind of substantial changes here.
It turns out that images are stripped when I cross post to Threads and Twitter as well.
Does anyone have an idea of why or how to fix?
Can you link to your site and an example post? How do you post images? Is there anything strange about it?
I have never had an image fail to crosspost, personally. I know a few others have complained, but except when Bluesky made an API change, I’ve never seen it not post what I expect.
I have heard others say this, then discover their posts have a title, or more than 4 images, or something else that would make it a long post, for example, where it would not get content like that cross posted.
I typically use the micro.blog app or the Sunlit app. Cross posting to everything but fediverse.fun (just text), Threads (just text), and Twitter (contains a link to the image) includes the image.
Every post on here is an example:
For Threads and Twitter X, this is a limitation in their support for starting a new post. We can’t copy the images automatically like we can for Mastodon and Bluesky. For now you’ll have to re-attach any images.
When Threads unveils their official API, we’ll switch to that and images will be included.
Oh I didn’t even realize he said Threads and Twitter. I would have had a better answer had I noticed.
To be honest I have no idea about Sharkey yet. Do you happen to have a link for an example of this, or a screenshot?
Sharkey is a the latest fork-du-jour of Misskey…

I am a moderator on this instance, so if there’s something backend that would be helpful I can ask my admin for a screenshot
