      Cross posting is built into Lemmy intentionally to allow for post and community discovery. It’s a client issue that there’s no good grouping or deduplication.

        The server should group them. If two crossposts are in the same post listing, the server should combine them and add a property in the API to let us know it was combined.

        Also, Lemmy has no concept of a “crosspost”. All it does to check a “crosspost” is check if they have the same URL.
