      Ideally only one post would be made, no crossposts. One pancake post would be on your feed, and that same post would be visible from other communities

        Ahh, I think I got you. So, ideally, ‘followed’ content wouldn’t trigger recent activity within the ‘followers’ community? Is that the idea?

          Followed posts would just link to the original post and wouldn’t be a crosspost, yeah. So assuming a and b are following each other, a post from a would show up in b. If someone in b clicks on the post, they would just open the same post from a.
