Alexandrite now has cross-posting! You can cross post from the '...' menu on posts:

crosspost menu

You then pick a community from your subscriptions, or search for any other community, or directly enter the full name like [email protected] if you want a very specific one and don't want to bother with searching.

And links to cross-posts will now show when viewing a posts:

Alexandrite now matches Lemmy-UI handling taglines. If an instance has any taglines set it will now pick a random one instead of showing all of them.

Lastly if you have NSFW thumbnail handling set to "Hide" or "Blur", it will now hide/blur thumbnails when a post is in a NSFW community, even if the post itself isn't marked NSFW, as the post is probably actually NSFW anyway and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Lemmy doesn’t have that strong of a “concept” of cross posts.

Yea, there's an issue (on GitHub) to show not just cross-posts with the same URL (which only works for posts with a URL in the first place), but also to anytime a cross-post is made, which, along with the idea of being able to view a merge of the comments, seems like a nice idea ... along with things like multi-communities/community-groups, it would facilitate more connectivity and/or user-driven etching out of customisable "spaces".
