This group is current mainly focused on raising awareness and calls to action for helping Ukraine in its war against Russia's colonialist aggression. To this end we also encourage as secondary focus:
- Sharing Ukrainian Culture
- Exposing Russian Compromised Companies/Media/Politicians and Narratives
- Exposing the history of Russian Imperialism, under the current regime, under the USSR and under the Tsars.
- Raising awareness of other countries suffering from Russia's Colonialist Agression (Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Belarus, etc).

Okay, will bear in mind. These are reddit style link posts. But if they don't even show up in Calckey (do they in mastodon? Anyone know?) then it will make it harder to boost and share. Technically we could link the lemmy post directly in a calckey/mastodon toot, but that kind of defeats the point...
@toni @dana
The first photo is what showed up in my home timeline (I have followed Stop Russian Colonialist Aggression)
The second photo is where clicking on the main link led to, it opens in a new tab taking me to a new space (I have my browser set to open clicked links in new tabs)
The review that it leads to has links in it and they show in a different color and can be linked.
I run Linux Mint 21 and use Firefox and am on an account in Mastodon running a different base code with an add name that I cannot remember right now (brain fog issue) but if necessary I can do the research. (just found it, glich-soc)
@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Somewhat annoyingly, pictures attached when you reply in Mastodon do not show up here in Lemmy either. And I'm unable to upload any pictures in Lemmy - get a json error.
But I see your pictures in Mastodon when this group boosted it (strange), and confirm same for me - my review post and Dana's podcast post both appeared in my feed boosted by the group. Don't know about Calckey, instance having major slowdowns so not checking much in the evenings.
@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Followed the group in Akkoma so will report on there next time a post is added with URL - my understanding is old posts do not get populated when first followed, or something, so need to wait for a new one with URL.
Oh and still can't reply to most posts in Lemmy, hence here from Mastodon.
@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Sorry, I meant when I reply using my Lemmy account. In theory you don't need one to reply - like we just did now from Mastodon. But if you want to make longer replies or for other reasons you might use one. The group should boost any replies, and you can then boost those in Mastodon to spread if you want. I think this whole thing is kind of a work in progress though - in general we're not used to working with software with so many quirks, but we'll get there 😊
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I definitely CAN reply in #Lemmy, only not to replies made in #Calckey or #Mastodon, because for some reason lemmy just spins forever and never posts the reply in those cases. But it definitely works fine replying to the original lemmy post, and to replies made in lemmy.
@[email protected] @I_Like_Books @[email protected] @dana Oh well spotted - yes I think that's what is happening for me too, couldn't figure out why some replies with my Lemmy account worked and some didn't...
