Can Lemmy handle x-posts differently? ( lemmy.world )

lemmy-ui actually groups them together. It all depends on the app / frontend implementation that you’re using.

Here is how the OPs example shows up with all the x-posted communities listed.

I have noticed, though, that two posts of the same URL within a single community are also listed as x-posted, and the “duplicates” don’t show up in the community’s feed at all. Which can be problematic if you’re linking to a page with a static URL that changes over time (such as sports league statistics). The trick so far has been to highlight text that has changed on the page and get a link to the highlighted text.
