After searching for Sailing@thebrainbin.org specifically on Lemmy.ca it seems to get federated as it now shows up in https://lemmy.ca/c/Sailing@thebrainbin.org but even after successfully posting to the com from my Lemmy.ca accout (as can be seen https://thebrainbin.org/m/Sailing/t/1867184/Fog-fog-WHALES-and-then-more-fog) I can't view any posts including my own from this instance without a direct link.

Thanks for the info!

    Is there any way this could work through third party apps like Boost or does it only work through the Lemmy.ca page?

    From what I understand, it is possible for a third party app to trigger the same endpoints on Lemmy (either the search endpoint, or the resolve_object one), but it depends on how it is implemented. Boost might modify the search input before triggering the search, which would break the functionality.

    I don't have a link handy to test with right now. You could also ask in !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world and direct them to this discussion. :)
