    so you’re reposting a lot of popular posts from the last few days, to multiple instances, to get some credibility on your account? before your next unpopular rant?

      Nope, just cross posting content from .ml communities to a relevant non-.ml community. Could be popular, could be unpopular I just crosspost whenever I see it, it’s relevant and isn’t just Tankie trash

      Rarely do I crosspost to multiple communities, but I do if I feel it truly fits an additional community

        I think there’s still value to doing this. There are multiple active Android communities on Lemmy for example. I think it’s supposed to mark the content as a crosspost however I’m not sure if that works for all forms of content and not just links. We also don’t have karma unless a tool goes out of its way to compute that value, so I think the perverse motivation is reduced. I rather see more activity on the platform even if that results in some redundancy.
