Server-to-server you can call
Server-to-client you should prefer fetching on the server and passing data down as props.
fetchSinglePostById() again with no problem, as long as this function is being cached to avoid making a request twice. This way each component only worries about the data they need, without depending on who their parent is.Server-to-client you should prefer fetching on the server and passing data down as props.

If you have the data on the home page and it is the same piece of data you're gonna show, you can pass it as a prop. It's a common practice and saves you few lines of code until unless data is different or can be changed.
