When many Reddit users make a post under one subreddit, many often wonder how they can most across multiple subreddits at the same time. Crossposting allows you to do just that—keeping your original post intact and linking your crossposts into one "subreddit stream." This article will show you how to do just that.
Steps
-
1Open up the Reddit app and log in, if you haven't done so already. The process is pretty straightforward. Reddit has its official app currently available to iOS users on iPhone/iPad and Android users.
- Currently, the mobile website can't crosspost posts.
-
2Find the post you'd like to crosspost. You can only crosspost an original post, and not one that is a crosspost. If you want to crosspost a crosspost, you still must find the original post. If you need to create a post ready for crossposting, you can follow these directions .
- You can find these posts directly from the subreddit where they originate OR
- You can find them via a search for terms OR
- You can find them via the Home feed.
- For those coming from a crosspost in another subreddit, you can click the original crosspost title link from the crossposted post to open the original post, then follow the upcoming directions.

3Begin to share the post. You'll need to open the original link.
- On Reddit's mobile app, tap the Share arrow once on the complete post. Towards the bottom of the "Share to..." menu, tap the "Community" button in the bottom left corner. This will open your Crosspost dialog box setup.
-
4Build on your crosspost posting's information. On the mobile version, locate the place you'd like to crosspost to from the "Search for a community" box and build onto the title and body text boxes.
- Reddit will build you a standard crosspost form with information based on the crosspost's original title (in the body), along with a link to the original post. If you want, you can update and add information until it completes the details for the crossposted community needs.
- To help it move along, you might have to choose a tag or flair (from the tag or flair box), or you might have to provide certain words in the title (r/bugs, Reddit's bug-reporting subreddit), or some other feature helping the snag move along until it brings it up to code and you can crosspost this post over.

Warnings
- Crossposting allows you to save the original details and formatting and allows all comments to be saved in one spot - and not spread out in many different places.
- People seeing the details from the crosspost in one group must open the original post up on the other and comment there through a link to the post located in the crossposted subreddit to do so, and it will just lead users back to the original post each time, collecting comments in the same spot from all the different crossposted spots.
- Copying and pasting
, though also seeming
valid, isn't a good option, because it loses both the formatting and makes it seem like you were the original author of the text and the original author won't get copyright credit.
- Crossposting avoids that confusion and gives authorship to the right place.
