This is a programming problem. No content should ever be duplicated. Cross-posts should be marked as such and link back to the thread in the most appropriate sub.

EXACTLY!!!

Doesn't even have to be "the most appropriate sub" - just the first one posted to.

And there should be vigilance for redundancies. For example, all the same video:

[–]C3P0 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Right, but this probably would require rewriting half the website because saidit is just reddit's code from n years ago. Just patching a cross-posting feature on top of the existing code, I'd imagine, would be a nightmare.
