Hello !

I'm being new to Reddit and so I've first checked my inbox and read "how does reddit work". I then checked Reddiquette or Retiquette I don't remember, and then understood several things about up vote, down vote etc. However, the article is talking about Crosspost and Repost and calls the user not to be angry at Crosspost and try to avoid to repost unless you've got something better to say. But I still don't understand what is the difference between these.

Thank you !

PS : I'm not English so I apologize for every single mistake there may be. Edit : missing letters.

Repost is to take a post from a while ago and post it again, in the same subreddit. Cross post is to make the same post in two different subreddits at the same time, usually when asking for help.
