Are there plans for a crosspost feature? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Correct, its not on jerboa yet....

@7heo@lemmy.ml It already exists!

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

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??? 😧
