    I guess thats why Boost automatically attaches a “Crossposted from X” when crossposting, just to make sure

      That’s a behaviour inherited from the webUI.

      It doesn’t actually do anything. I usually remove it because it’s just redundant, and the link takes you off-instance 99% of the time. Also it only works in one direction. The proper cross post links appear on both/all three/or more posts.

      The webUI shows cross-posts as little links in the post info, and some clients do something similar.

      Photon handles it well, and Thunder has had basic support for a while. But I’m looking to make it very easy to hop between several posts by displaying some details about each one in a list, like votes, comment count, and post date.
