I just crossposted something using Thunder and another user let me know that my crosspost did not show that the other post was the original.
See here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/11901004
Not sure how that can happen but seems like a bug in Thunder then?
I have noticed that posts leading to the same URL all have that little “Cross-posted to:” indicator. Whether the post had actually been crossposted to the indicated community or if it had instead been crossposted from that community. Even if the post was not crossposted at all at any point, it will still read “Cross-posted to:” and list every other post with that URL.
So it that just Thunder doing that? Because it sounds like a great feature, maybe the wording is deceiving since its only technically a cross post. But its nice to see the together.
Could maybe be changed to Duplicate Post or something like that.
Yeah, what I just explained seems to be a Thunder-only thing. I really do like the ability to see the list of everywhere else that a certain URL has been posted to, but it would definitely be nice if it was more descriptive about the relationship between the posts
It’s on the Web UI as well
No. Thats how all cross-posts on lemmy work.
The “cross-posted from” does nothing, and is redundant.
Any client with proper cross-post metadata support will link to all other posts with the same URL in the same way.
