Did I just read a complaint about cross-instance posting, that was cross-instance posted?

I wish it was. This is a disconnected duplicate, not a proper cross-post. Actual cross-posts are linked to each other in the title section, making it easier for participants to visit the other discussion(s).

Important to note: linked crossposting does not currently work with discussion posts.

Oooh, I didn’t know! Just tested, confirmed :(
So OP probably did everything right, but the world wasn’t ready yet.

Do any apps support it yet?

The default web UI supports cross-posting:

Links to cross-posts will appear directly below (before the text body of the post).

Yeah, that’s what I do. I save the post in my app, then navigate to the website to pull it up and crosspost. But that’s not ideal.
