It’s annoying seeing the same headlines numerous times linking to same stuff because it’s cross posted to 3+ instances.

Is there a setting to reduce that or app that handles that well?

    Different people posting the same URL get their posts linked up as cross posts.

    The cross post button just copies the post text into a new post. It doesn’t do anything special.

      Oh, right. Sorry. I’ve gone back and checked the post I was thinking of when I made that comment, and - yeah - it turns out I was misremembering / didn’t properly investigate the first time.
