something kinda cool about shares is that if you share a thing and then I share your share of the thing, anyone looking at MY share knows that I shared YOUR share. Even if you didn't add any text.

so it'll look like

@artemis ๐Ÿ”„ @ you
@ original poster

blah blah blah

anyways the reason I think that's cool is that if all YOU do is share posts, but people notice I re-share a lot of posts from your re-shares, they might click through to your page!!!

So what im saying is this makes it possible to find pages who don't really write very often but DO basically curate a page of re-shares, in a way that is impossible if the intermediary re-shares were hidden. That's like a whole type of page that's just invisible otherwise! Kinda neat!!

It took me a while to realize this when I first joined cohost. I was confused as to why there were three names showing up sometimes. If I'd seen this post on my first day, it would have saved me some confusion. It is a nifty feature once you realize what's happening.
