Crosspost vs. manual repost: the attribution tradeoff

Crosspost vs. manual repost: the attribution tradeoff
This week on Reddit marketing: native crosspost button or a fresh manual post — they are not the same to mods.

— [Tactic] Native crosspost keeps a visible link to the source thread, which reads as transparent in strict subs but caps your karma in the new community.
— [Tactic] A manual repost lets you rewrite the title for the new audience and earns full engagement, but looks like spam if you blanket five subs at once.
— [Rule-change] A growing list of subs disable crossposting entirely; r/modnews discussions note mods do this to force original framing.
— [Case] Marketers in r/SocialMediaMarketing report manual reposts with tailored titles consistently double the comments of identical crossposts.

Editor's pick: crosspost when transparency matters, rewrite when engagement does.
