I used to just post on .world but disagree with some of their admin and mod policies so I try to post on .ml then cross post. Is it worth cross posting to even small instances or should I expect their users are on the bigger communities too? I don’t want to spam but only posting in .world misses the point of decentralization

    A post has to be visually aggregated among several communities. The current visual representation of a post that was posted in several communities looks like spam. It would be nice for a post to have a field, that represents the community IDs of where the post is posted, and this communities should be visible as a list inside such post along with the stats (votes, comments, deleted), and this list should bring the user to this post in these communities. A user would see such post in the feed id they are following at least one community the post was posted on. the sorting could count the highest or freshest stats depending on the sorting method. the post should be possible to post in another community just by editing the “post in these communities” field while editing the post. the repost by another user should be possible and should just add the newly posted community to the field along with the already posted communities. Lemmy clients should offer the user to edit this field in their newly created post instead of copying the post multiple times. This way the spam looks like a spam and a post can have 20000 communities it was posted on and this won’t clutter the user feed. thank you
