A lot of cross-posting usually indicates that the article is popular. Annoyingly, links to RT and some other sites sometimes work but more often than not, don’t. However many are available via the RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication) and I’ve discovered that even when the site is not reachable, the actual text is accessible via the App!
