With the feature request I posted on GitHub, it would work similarly to reposting/reblogging on Mastodon.

Except inside Lemmy anyone who can post in the community would (most likely) create a post linking to an existing post and it would appear that the post mentioned just got posted into that community

Moderators would ideally see who created that crosspost and have the ability to block that person from crossposting (or posting entirely) to that community w/o affecting the third-party post

If someone wouldn't want their posts crossposted they can just block the community's actor (account)
