That's a behaviour inherited from the webUI.
It doesn't actually do anything. I usually remove it because it's just redundant, and the link takes you off-instance 99% of the time. Also it only works in one direction. The proper cross post links appear on both/all three/or more posts.
The webUI shows cross-posts as little links in the post info, and some clients do something similar.
Photon handles it well, and Thunder has had basic support for a while. But I'm looking to make it very easy to hop between several posts by displaying some details about each one in a list, like votes, comment count, and post date.
I see, i think ill keep it on for the time being tho, making sure that all is atleast somewhat interconnected universally probably aint a bad idea
You might replace it with a community mention, those at least are now clickable in pretty much all clients.
Whats that
One of these [email protected]
And that's not markdown btw. It's just the name in plaintext with the !, which becomes clickable in basically all clients now.
Eventually something similar should exist for exact posts and comments.
