I feel like on mainstream social media this is done pretty thoughtlessly and it’s a norm but on Lemmy, with the much smaller userbase, I kinda felt like… it’s like riding on someone else’s coat tails? Or is it just me?

Edit: I specifically mean the Crosspost function.

Edit: of course if it’s artwork or text, obviously then I’d make it explicitly clear it’s not mine but I mean news articles, memes, things like that.

    without saying anything?

    What do you mean, with this? (Serious question, if you’re wondering. I don’t do crosspost so I have no idea how this works ;)

      I mean like asking them if I can or adding a note like @user posted this on !community or something. Though it does show the crosspost already so maybe that covers it?

        Oh, thx for the explanation. Like I said, I don’t do that myself but if I was asked if it was ok, I would not mind at all, quite the contrary.
