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

    People almost never seem to mind when something’s posted to two communities. Sometimes people will complain when it’s three communities. Any more than is likely to annoy people who browse by “All,” and then the mods will have reports in their inboxes to deal with.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My case was selfhosted for ml, world, then slrpnk. Usually just two the first too but thought it might be nice to contribute to the last one.

      I was once asked to not post within a few seconds. Since then I’ve made a habit of waiting a few minutes between posts, since then I’ve not gotten any complaints.
