Yeah, I think this is a great idea. An automatic implementation would be easy if it's a repeat of a that was already posted. Somewhat more difficult if it's the same news but from a different source - dunno if that's even technically a repost but it kind of is.

A more loosely defined "related/variation" list of links might get very big, but I don't feel like it absolutely shouldn't be done. I don't know, maybe.

Might be able to add a second set to expand the feature if the repost list is successful and useful.

The link list could have a max size and oldest items could drop off.

I don't love the idea of that kind of automatic deletion

I didn't mean deleting the old posts I meant they would no longer appear on the repost history.

Yeah, I don’t love the idea of that kind of automatic deletion of the links from the list.
