crosspost
What does crosspost mean?
To take a post from one subreddit and share it into another while keeping a link back to the original. The point is to spread something good without ripping off the OP — credit stays attached automatically.
"Crossposted from r/mildlyinteresting because you lot need to see this."
Origin
Reddit built native crossposting as a first-class feature in 2017, but the practice (and the 'x-post from r/whatever' note in titles) goes back years before that.
