I guess what I’m essentially asking here is wether you mind seeing the same post several times in your feed? I’ve done it in the past, but also tend to feel that duplicate posts are a bit annoying.

      i have been on lemmy since the reddit exodus and use it every day… even post from time to time and i have no confidence at all about what cross-post means, or how to carry it out, or what the results look like.

      i am sure that it’s very simple, but…?

        What client do you use? There’s a cross post button on every post, which lets you post it to another community, but linking back to the original post.

          thanks. i took a moment to find it (boost). but it now leads me back to the OP question…

          if a crosspost came up during my lemmy scroll, it will probably look exactly the same as if i had made the post to each community individually. so is crossposting a meaningful alternative?
