Hey, #Fediverse experts. Is there is simple way to Boost a Kbin/Lemmy post I like onto my #Mastodon?

I know I can look up the #KBin / #Lemmy poster on my Mastodon instance and boost from their timeline.

But, that's a bit difficult, I have to translate the KBin/Lemmy user URL into a remote Mastodon user URL, and then I have to manually match up the KBin post URL with the contents of a toot in the timeline.

@maegul Lemmy https://infosec.pub/post/3495513 shows up as Mastodon https://hachyderm.io/@BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world/111204864162148650 I'm not sure how to get the later from the former. The numbers and names are all different.

@maegul I think you are missing the point. I can't find a button or URL in the Lemmy interface that lets me boost something to my Mastodon feed (on hachyderm.io).

Also, it isn't easy to find toot that "matches" a post (or comment) when I'm in the Mastodon interface, even when federation has distributed it to my Mastodon instance.

Yes, once I've gone through copy-paste plus manual search process, to find the right toot, then all I have to do is hit boost, but that final step isn't the problem.
