For small instances, does it make sense to first post on my own then cross post to the real target? To decentralize, prevent mod abuse, and spread awareness of other subs.
Sorry to ask a similar question compared to a week ago
When there is a small Lemmy community that is specific to what I want to post about, but it is very inactive, I do this:
Post to the small community, then crosspost it to a larger more general topic community. For example, if it’s about a specific game, I post there then crosspost to gaming. If it’s about the city of Toronto, then I will sometimes post to Canada.
this. I have seen some very specific groups and I don’t think we have the numbers for it but plenty for the more generic ones.
