@pepper0 @admin @lemmy_ca_support that's a great question... "back fill" is a problem on the fediverse but people are working on it.

mmmmm this is a bit annoying, but I think you can "search the full url on our instance" and it should pop up the message you want to boost

    For mastodon, you make em visible by putting the whole url in the mastodon search box and enter, tried with https://lemmy.ca/post/50437467 [from posted lemmy group]

    then delete the last path segment of the lemmy post.

    The canonical url for your example is
    https://lemmy.world/post/31535735
    and that works.
    I am not sure what the "/17725147" is good for.
    It might either has to do with redirects or lemmys Content-Negotiation.
    They should figure out.

    summing up:
    Lemmy posts have different URLs to the same Object.
    Your example was
    https://lemmy.world/post/31535735/17725147
    which is
    https://lemmy.world/post/31535735/

    For mastodon you need to delete anything after the last '/' and put the
    "https://lemmy.world/post/31535735/" in the search box and you get the fedi-object instead of the url. Then you can share that. Not saying this is intended, just saying, it works :)
