Are cross posts worthwhile? I posted this in Girls With Glasses, but I could also crosspost it to bigtiddygothgf.

Would that help help anyone? Or is it more dupe spam?

    I generally dislike how cross posts work on Lemmy. But that could be just me. I’m subscribed to communities I like to see. And I see it once regardless. Or several times if someone decides to cross-post. But that feels more like spam to me than anything useful.

    It’s usually a thing on regular SFW Lemmy for me. Where people post the same tech news to all 5 technology communities. Or their simple question that’s now answered 3 different times separately by different people who don’t see each other in the comments… And I also don’t want to unsubscribe and miss out. So I have to live with it.

    I don’t think it’s a big issue in NSFW though, or if it’s just 2 times the same picture every now and then.

      Cross posting on Lemmy doesn’t feel right. I think the default web UI shows a single post with links to the cross posts.

      I’ll take this as a vote in favor. Ty.
