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.

    I usually try to mention the community in the original post and let the OP a bit time for cross posting it by themself, but ultimately I’ll cross post. I don’t see any problem with it.
