repost

Circulate someone else's

Repost is to share content that has already been posted, typically on social media: Sorry if this is a repost, but I just saw it.

The noun refers to the shared content itself.

Reposting may credit the original source or not—the latter often draws criticism.

On some platforms, the native sharing feature has its own name (retweet, reblog), while repost suggests copying content outright.
