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.
