Cross-posting existing posts also helps immensely to cut down on the clutter. I’ve done that, from larger communities to smaller ones that I wanted to help grow. I’ve never tried changing the title to see if it still connects, but maybe so, if someone wanted/needed (for the specific rules of the community) to do that.
Thing is, a cross post is nothing special. It’s a) a post with an identical link, and b) a post with “cross posted from…” appended to the body content.
It is still just a post. Lemmy (and k/mbin) just attempt to mask the fact there are multiple of them.
I don’t know if it can be done any better though, ActivityPub has quite a few quirks.
