  • Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I do like seeing multiple crossposts, to an extent.

    The “re-occuring crosspost issue” is not a problem for me since it keeps a topic fresh in my mind.

    The “duplicate thread across multiple communities issue” is not much of an annoynace to me if done right. If someone is just reposting it to every related community they find, that is lazy and only clutters people’s feeds. I think 2-3 crossposts, between the community talking about the specific niche then to the general topic. For example a piece of star trek news which is then crossposted from a star trek community to a TV shows related one.

    Posting to too many communities will result in a bunch of dead threads. However, with the right touch it can spawn several engaging and active discussions, and expose people to new communities, so I like crossposts. With how moderation varies by instance, I do like getting perspectives from different groups talking about a big piece of news. Compare how users frequenting each of these communities might look at a piece of privacy news differently:
