Not all clients support this (yet). I only found out about this recently and have to go to the browser to use the crosspost feature.

This icon Image makes a cross-post, it shoud be used, because it combines them in the feed if both are in the same view (often in New), but it probably should be automated, at least if the link and the title are the same, so it also works if someone doesn’t use the button to cross post.

Yeah, I don’t have that option on jerboa and loading lemmy in a browser on mobile is a terrible experience.

I’d say it’s not too bad compared to Reddit and other mobile websites these days

Yes when I see this I downvote all duplicates.
Lemmy should, however, find all federated duplicates and offer you to cross post an existing one when such a case arises. It would fix many of these cases.
