Repost
01 Definition
Repost meaning: Sharing someone else's post to your own audience, often with credit.
A repost shares another account's post with your own followers. Depending on the platform, it may appear on your profile, in a Story, or through a native share button like a retweet. A plain repost carries the original content forward, sometimes without any added comment.

Why it matters
How Repost fits the work
Reposting spreads content beyond its first audience, which is how many posts gain reach, and it lets you curate others' work for your followers.
In context
The magazine reposted a photographer's viral shot to its Story, tagged her account, and asked permission before sharing it to the main feed.
Practical note
Always credit the original creator and check reuse rights. A repost sends attention to the source account, so it may not build your own content library.
