    Does cross posting imply that the post already existed somewhere else first? I’ve submitted links independently which then showed up as a crosspost from somewhere else.

    I wonder if you’re on an instance that doesn’t federate if it would still show up as a crosspost.

      If you use the same URL for a link, I believe it records the parent as the first place it was listed assuming you’re Federated.

      Idk how images work.

      dbzero is a bridge between World and Hexbear, so we occasionally see people like an image while a smaller group of anti-hexbear zealots start screaming in the comments that the site is hosted in Russia or some such nonsense.
