Comment cross-posting addendum

[cleolinda]

Okay, since I was having a hard time visualizing what the hell you would even want to use this for, the worst issues had to be explained to me. There were a couple of good comments explaining how cross-posting comments from LJ to Facebook or Twitter (even accidentally) could end badly

There's a screencap of crossposting a comment to Facebook by dysonrules here.

The LJ FAQ for crossposting to Facebook or Twitter says:

The update to your Facebook Wall will say "[Your Name] posted a new entry to 'yourjournal' at LiveJournal." This notification will contain the subject and text of the entry you posted, and will link to the entry. A similar notification will appear if you post to a community. Any entries cross-posted to Twitter will contain either the subject of the post or a snippet of the entry, along with a short URL to the full entry on LiveJournal

Yeah, I read over that, but I wanted to try it for myself. Things have gone to hell with new coding of theirs before.

I can understand that. Good luck with testing it!

So the entire text of the entry/comment is posted to Facebook? Even really long entries (like a new fic chapter) are posted to Facebook in their entirety?

Not that I'm ever planning to crosspost my LJ stuff to Facebook, but I'm curious nonetheless.

Good question. Maybe the intrepid Cleo can find out!

I don't know if they've changed it, but when I've cross-posted entries before, it posted part of the entry in your news feed/wall/whatever, and the title linked to the full entry in your Notes, with a link at the bottom linking to the original entry.
