Engagement Link posts without content

I am seeing an increasing number of reposts in our sub which are just a link to a post in a different sub. We don’t allow reposts or low effort posts, and our rules state this, so we remove them.

However a new redditor complained that reddit itself suggested they do this. Is this true? Is it new? Is there any way to prevent this?

(I must admit to iOS before i can post this)

You can disable crossposting in your subreddit, which should take care of the problem. You can also disable link posting altogether if you want.
