It is called Cross posting, some posts are relevant to multiple communities, can be annoying at times but at same time serves a purpose
DMT Dank Microwave Taco
Let’s take a trip on DMT. Welcome to the Dank Microwave Taco or DMT for short. Anything and everything goes in here. Be sure to share your experience on DMT with your friends, family and social media. @WiggleHard bans nothing and exiles nobody (Dont doxx wolfballs users, no posting of porn/nudes or foot fetish material unless it involves political scandals, no ads for sex sites or dating sites; do that on your own time, no solicitation for pyramid scams, no posting job advertisements unless from official job sites, no posts supporting pedophilia, not all love is love) also: (we cannot allow violations of the patriot act concerning how we speak, no calls for violence, suggesting you are personally harming someone ect. These things are not free speech protected by law but actually against the law and could get the website shut down.) (no spam posting, especially spam posting of what could be considered symbols of hate) examples: guy posting nazi flag 5 times in one day, guy posting “whitey is the devil over and over, im going to use my best judgement on this one rule)

It you are logged into Exploding Heads they appear as a single post

Hmmm
For me as long as there is a URL to link on, they only appear once.
If there is no URL, then it will appear multiple times. That is a Lemmy thing I have no control over.
Is it working differently for you?

Let me know as I cross post a lot of URLs - sort of using communities like tags.
But if it is appearing multiple times to logged in users, I will need to change my approach.
Stupid question but is there an actual crosspost action somewhere like what Reddit does that I am missing or are you guys manually copying the link for post 1 into post 2?
