Oh this is computers only? Where the heck is a general "retro" community on Lemmy? It's all tech focused.

the only general community I could find while searching is this one, but it appears to be completely empty

kinda surprised there isn't a generic vintage type community, maybe there is one out there somewhere!

That's cool. Yeah, I see it's just 1 person posting right now. Maybe it needs a brigade :) Speaking of which, what is proper cross-posting etiquette on Lemmy? If I want, do I just post it there again? I'll probably take a better pic this time, it has the lid and keys too, and that white stuff inside is old gumball pieces :)

what is proper cross-posting etiquette

if you want to cross-post the same exact image to a different community there should be a link at the top of this post to cross-post (if using the desktop web ui), it sorta looks like a copy icon

but if you wanted to use a new photo then I think just creating a new post over there is probably easiest

I've gone ahead and subscribed to that other community, hopefully it gains some traction. I enjoy seeing old finds from yard sales, etc

That's convenient, I used the link just to play with it. I never even cross-posted on Reddit.
