Yes, this is how it works in lemmy-ui. In this following example someone posted to !technology@beehaw.org and I pressed the cross-post button and cross-posted it to !firefox@lemmy.ml:
And if you cross post it to more then one there will be just a list of them.
If people would use the lemmy cross posting functionality it would only show up once.
Indeed, unfortunately most of the mobile apps don’t implement that feature
if people do cross posts, will i see the post only once?
will lemmy detect that i can see the original + 3 crossposts and show me only the original?
this is more like a feature request, i don’t think we are there yet.
we could also aggregate and sync comments across cross postings, so that the post is really just one, but posted in more than one community.
