Hey gang! I am in need of some aid here.

I want to cross post a single post within a comment section. I have the link. How do I create a new post with that link? Do I literally have to move it all pice by piece to create a cross posting?

I guess I am old now. Huh.

Round thingies show up. Grab the tight most one and hold and drag it through to the last word you want to copy.
Select copy, then paste into your comment

I cross-post two ways (especially Indivisible articles I get in the email)

1. I just copy everything and post in two places (like GD and Activist Headquarters)

2. To reference an existing post without copying it: go to the OPTIONS button and click either
• Link in-thread: or
• Link to single post:

And put that link in a new post.

It looks as if there is no secret way of reposting the original one, so I will just copy/paste and make another one.

I appreciate the help!
