Crossposts are a great way to follow posts from one community to the next, and discover more user contributions. I would love to see that on Lemmy.

    There’s a crosspost button at the top of posts, it looks like a copy.

    Crossposts already exist, there’s a button for it. For example, I just crossposted this post so now it shows up with a little cross-posted to: World News and my cross-post on World News also shows a little cross-posted to: environment@beehaw.org

    Depending on exactly what you have in mind as a cross-post feature, there is this button on posts to cross-post: cross-post button (also I see other folks have answered this, but seems like the replies didn’t arrive over here on my derpy instance)

    I would love to see this as well. It’s definitely a challenging topic as crossposts can happen across instances, but I think it would greatly improve the discoverability of content and new communities.

      As people have answered, it already exists, but not every client has support.

      Edit: how tf did you get downvoted in 8h on a dead post??? 😧
