This feels like something that should be solved by code, not culture. Users shouldn’t be inconveniencing others when simply trying to share content with all relevant communities.
Actually this is solved by the web frontend, it just list the crosspost under one of the post. People bitch about them is 100% from using mobile app or 3rd party frontend.
Not everyone crossposts. Some of them just spam the same thing on any communities that seem related. That’s probably good for smaller communities, but it makes browsing by Newest really suck - especially when browsing All and not just local or subscribed.
I disagree with this - on the web client crossposts are only shown once if you are subscribed to multiple communities. It’s useful if the same community is in multiple instances, or if there’s both a general and specific category that the content makes sense for.
I do think Lemmy could do with improving the UI though, and have communities that span multiple instances.
For starters it spams all. Also very often people spam a meme in like 10 meme communities and then its all over your feed.
Lemmy is quite small, one user can make a noticeable difference. Like I’d bet you could check my profile and recognise smth I’d posted. So 2-3 communities is OK, but going beyond that is excessive.
Now I’m not sure about how crossposts are dealt with, also I’m on an android app anyways. Mostly repeat posts aren’t crossposts but one image in several communities.
Don’t share the same content in many communities even if its on different instances

Huh, i didn’t know it won’t auto-crosspost.
Yeah. The difference:

I would argue that. There are some very technical communities, though they are rare
