Are cross posts now automatically detected by common URL? (lemmy.ml)

I swear I made a post to a community and lemmy automatically detected that it had the same URL link as another post in another community made by someone else and listed this post as a cross post.

Was this always a feature before? Is it new? Did I misunderstand what happened?

I'm fairly sure it's not new, because I recall seeing cross-posts from other instances right when I posted a story to a local instance.

I had no idea! I think it's quite cool!

I believe it was designed like that, yeah
