I used to just post on .world but disagree with some of their admin and mod policies so I try to post on .ml then cross post. Is it worth cross posting to even small instances or should I expect their users are on the bigger communities too? I don’t want to spam but only posting in .world misses the point of decentralization
Depends how active the non-LW communities are
[email protected] has 931 weekly active users / 2.5k monthly compared to 644 weekly active users / 1.5k monthly for [email protected]
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=movies&order=active
In this case you could only post to the Lemm.ee version.
There are cases where it’s the opposite ( [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] ). In those cases I would only post on the LW community
The question isn’t just anti world decentralization but just spreading it in general to reach each community :)
For that, I prefer to generally post on one community.
Crossposting seems to indicate that two communities should be consolidated.
Thanks for the examples! So would you say cross posting is helpful or annoying?
As I said, depends on the context 😄
