Where do I put this cross-posted badge?
(lemmy.world)
Help! I'm paralyzed by indecision. Where should this "Cross-posted" badge go. It will be used to show that a post's URL has been cross-posted to another community.
Options:
| Under the title | Above the title | Above the header | Under the post | Somewhere else entirely? |
|---|---|---|---|---|

I don't really think it makes any sense personally for it to be there. The point of the button is (1) for users to know the post was cross-posted somewhere else and (2) a tappable item that if the user taps will display all the locations it was cross-posted too.
Another user made a good point that it should probably appear after the title because it reads better. Eg. you see the post first and then you see that it's cross-posted. In addition, it ties the information to the post which makes sense. It shows the user "this post has been cross-posted elsewhere".
If it appeared by the name, it would be confusing since the immediate context is the name and community. A name or community being "cross-posted" makes no sense. You can't cross-post a person or a community. You cross-post a post.
