    Not in all frontends according to user reports. What’s the problem with linking twice either way? You were exploitly told the apps where users weren’t seeing it before and chalked it up to an “image linking issue”, so I’m just helping other users avoid that in the future!

      Where? Which reports? No I wasn’t lmao tell me the front end or app that doesn’t show the crosspost menu, should be easy since you’re so sure

          It has to do with the proxying URLs on images [A rare instance related issue]

          On the clients that were mentioned:

          Here’s Thunder

          Here’s the dbzer0 web interface

          All with proper crossposting menus, anything else you’d like to misrepresent or lie about?

            It’s like that’s almost exactly what I mentioned you said, and exactly why I’m commenting proper links to older posts! It fixes the proxying issue you mention to include it in the post, so I’m happy I can be of assistance. I’m still not sure why it’s so upsetting to you when users link back to other posts in the comments, especially when you weren’t the first one to post it. It helps drive conversation when people know it’s happening elsewhere.

              Not sure why you’d want to forward traffic to an instance who has admins that are transphobic and push Russian propaganda but you do you, I can’t stop you :)

                I’m not doing it to forward traffic to a single place, nor am I the one crossposting ML content. You claim that crossposting linking always works, so weren’t you the first one to link to ML, by your own logic?

                  One of these methods reduces friction, the other increases it just enough. Yours is the reducing friction method.

                    According to your logic, crosspost links always display, so by crossposting from ML, you’re driving traffic there and reducing friction. Right? It’s right in your post, you even said so!
