Shall we embrace cross posting?

Shall we have links in our bios if we have accounts on both? Is anyone here actively using both at the same time? How’s it going?

Any advocacy on the sub-reddits by cross posting lemmy threads/comments and maybe doing more?

Or we just ignore each other?

    Crossposting in a context of a platform rife with re-postings doesn’t sound too appealing.

    Repeat content in inevitable, of course. But on Reddit, it is accelerated because of the karma system, bots, and karma farming. The desire for more content and traffic in the fediverse is to improve the quality of experience for existing users and to make it more enticing to new ones joining. I would argue that is not the purpose of content generation on Reddit.

    Maybe I’m muddying that aspect of the question, though.

      Although cross-posting things from Reddit would help, by helping supply a stream of new content for users to talk about, while the community is small, and doesn’t have that much to stay active.

      The community is less enticing to new users if it seems “dead” because of a low number of infrequent posts.
