Instead of listing all xposts, make a feature where you can post to a "main" sub, then list some cross posts subs. In the "general" feed, it only shows once, with the main sub listed, but a hover element next to the main sub lists all cross post subs.
When viewing individual subs, the post shows as normal for whatever sub you are in.
To be clear, I'm not complaining about xposts, but with a site this small, why would you not just be browsing new at all times? The cross posts are useful for those with a particular interest, but make new cluttered.
The front page does condense cross posts. /new doesn't. But obviously the cross-post finder page is going to list them all out because that's the job of that page.
I'm trying to think what that would look like graphically.
I think the premise I was operating on when I didn't apply that to /new was to make sure there is a page where someone can see all the posts that come into the site. I'd also have to figure out some kind of way in the database to indicate that the sub is more "main". I could possibly make use of the time field, setting one of them a millisecond newer than the others.
Also the other way to do it is to use the custom sort to set age as the only factor. Then you can have /new on the front page.
Keeping a little bit of bump on might be good to catch conversations that are happening in older posts. Some of our threads like movie stuff will have conversation in them for a while.
