    As long as the communities are relevant.

    Putting a star trek meme into ten forward then cross posing to memes is fine. Cross posting to chevron7 is not.

    My hot take is that I don’t like cross posting or reposting. I subscribe to communities for the unique content and perspectives that each one provides and to see a user posting the same thing to five different communities for whatever reason (getting upvotes seems to be the only reason) seems silly to me. Let go of the ego a bit and this need for internet points.

    Depends on how you’re doing it. It’s common to be subscribed to multiple versions of any particular community and those cross posts will show up alongside each other in the feed.

      This might be an unpopular opinion, but that sounds exactly like spam to me.

      I get the cross posting, rationale but I hate it (maybe I should just unsubscribe from the dupes?)

        What they need is an optional way for the client/server to collapse/merge similar links into one “post”.

          Yeah, that’s the ideal, isn’t it?

          I can see how that’s not a trivial thing to implement, however!

        I would agree in most cases
