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.

    Sorry. Addendum: I see no issue with cross posting without asking. We post to get our message out there and cross posting aids in that process. I like that seeing our posts have been cross posted is easier to see these days on web Lemmy and many apps, as if my stuff is cross posted, I just like to know about it so I can answer any questions, since I focus on more educational subjects.

      Yeah, photon frontend for lemmy is great in that regard. I can see a collection of threads of all the crossposts altogether in one page. Lovely! (except when the number of comments was too high everywhere haha!)
