I think it's always been like this.
Has something changed?
Is this how we want it to work though?
There's a lot of context missing on one post, while it's visible on the other. And this isn't a problem when viewing these posts through a browser instead of Voyager.

I assume the cross poster has the opportunity to proved their own text? Maybe if they opt not to provide their own text the OP text could be displayed but it should be made clear the text is part of the OP and be within the grey card with the rest of the OP info.
I think showing both the OP text and crossposter’s text would be too busy. The crossposter’s text should take precedence.
I don't think you can add any extra text when crossposting with Lemmy, but I'm not sure what instances like kbin allow.
Either way, I would expect that treating it the same way that the browser view currently does would be a good start for this specific case.
You can disable embedding cross posts in settings to get to the original Lemmy implementation if you prefer.
The official lemmy community for Voyager, an open source, mobile-first client for lemmy.
