Title. I’m wondering what’s everyone’s take on this. On the one hand it’d mean seeing multiples of one post if you’re subscribed to equivalent communities between communities. On the other hand, right now I think a big worry is this momentum we have dying out due to lack of content.
We can’t possibly predict which community will be the “big” community across the Fediverse, so maybe cross-posts are the way to go until things grow big enough.
Thoughts?
I feel like it will sort itself out over time.
Reddit did cross-posting too (even had actual mechanics to do it). Even for particularly popular topics usually only 2 top made it to the front page. If we’re seeing more than that, it’s probably just because there’s not enough content yet to compete with it.
Lemmy also has a mechanism to do it, but the icon is different, it’s two squares instead of a forking arrow.
