How to crosspost on Reddit?

There are various similar communities on Reddit. When you find a quality post on a subreddit, you may want to share it with another relevant subreddit. Crossposting is the best way to share a post among multiple communities without copy-pasting the content of that post.

Because when you crosspost, it includes the original post’s metadata, such as the community where it was posted first, the author, title, content, upvote, comment numbers, etc. As well as, instead of saying posted by on your shared post, it will say crossposted by. 

Note: You can’t submit a crosspost on all subreddits. Those subreddits that don’t support crossposting will be greyed out on the community list.

Some untold rules of crossposting

Value: Only share something if it adds value to your community. Don’t share irrelevant posts; they will be considered spam, and Reddit hates spam. 

Title: Crossposting with the same title is not so effective. You should enter your perspective of that post so that others can engage better. 

Communities: You can only crosspost to a community if it allows it. For example, if a community doesn’t accept crossposts, you can’t submit your post to them. So, there’s no need to worry.
