From my understanding, if you simply repost a link that has already been posted to another magazine, then both threads reference each other in the comments section. These references include the # of comments, votes, boosts, magazine location, user who crossposted etc. You are able to change the title.
Example of crossposting links:

Images work the same way, if they're copies of the same image.
Example of crossposting images:

This functionality also works with threads only containing text. I'm less certain about this, but I imagine the body text has to match exactly. I haven't really tested beyond this one example.
Example of crossposting text threads:

It's not based on image matches; my "Happy Halloween!" thread ended up with crosspost links to posts that just used the same title even though they have completely different images.

Thanks, I made an assumption in my previous post because I had crossposted a text thread on another occasion where I changed the title, and it still worked. Appreciate the additional context.
@daredevil I noticed the crosspost box came to view when I copied a thread link into another place.
So cross-posting works already - in a way.
I'm on Lemmy so I press this button:
