I see that it becomes a tip option when done directly on the old post. But if someone is crossposting a paid out post it also creates a tip? How do the rewards work on the crosspost when people upvote the new post?

I don't think you can, @indigoocean, you can only tip.

I think its a shame, because there were old, underewarded posts past payout we were crossposting in the community that had opportunity to see light of day, but now can only get a tip.. which is highly unlikely.

I agree with you @riverflows - perhaps we were the only ones using crossposting well??

That's the scenario under which I really appreciated a recent crosspost one community did of one of my older posts. It didn't earn that much originally but the crosspost rewards even at only 95% about doubled the overall payout on it. Oh well. I guess there is a way to manually choose the payout going to the new post, just not the default.
