Steps
Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad. Find and tap the blue compass icon in your apps to open Safari. You can find it on your home screen or in a folder.- Reddit's mobile app doesn't allow you to make a crosspost between subreddits. You'll have to use the desktop site in your mobile browser.
- Alternatively, you can use another mobile internet browser, such as Firefox, Chrome or Opera.
Go to Reddit.com in your browser. Type www.reddit.com in the address bar, and hit the Go button.- This will automatically load the mobile website.

Tap the "Choose a title" field. The original post's title will be automatically copied here.
