Crossposting has made populating content on Lemmy easy, and I’m so glad it exists.

However, as I use it often I’m finding out a few issues that I’d like the instance owner/patch owner/mods to weight in on.

  1. Ownership of post: If an OC is posted and it applies to a other communities, any user has the right to cross-post it. The cross post is then owned by the user who did cross post it, not by the user who’s posted the OC. Some users may have issues with that, especially NSFW content. Example.

  2. Multi-select crossposting communities: I want to post content that I know from the start applies to other communities. I want to be able to select multpie, and post to them all at once.

  3. Most recently selected cross post communities: Some communities I post to most often, like Boobs. That should appear first for quick selection.

  4. Viewing of cross posted content as read, when any of them are read: I think reddit had some behavior like this. Where if a post was cross-posted elsewhere and you’ve marked it as read, all crossposts are also marked read. I think it applies here.

LMK your thoughts. :)
