I've received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there's no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.
IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.
Because Lemmy is still relatively small, and because a lot of people view by “All” or “Local”, if you crosspost to many communities, your posts will dominate people’s frontpage, and they will downvote you.
What I find works well is to not post to more than two communities—three at the very most, and that those communities be on different instances.
