PaenIs it impolite to crosspost someone else's post to another community on Lemmy without saying anything?
anon6789If anything, I’d prefer to see people cross post from small communities to bigger ones, since they will give exposure to the smaller communities. But the meme and news comms are already pretty big, so cross posting from one big group to another just feels like cluttering up people’s feeds with duplicates.
adryAgreed. Thou it doesn’t really reply to OP question about “asking for permission”. The advice given here is more in line with the netiquette of crossposts overall, and shows one special case where a crosspost could be undesired (not by its poster but by all users.)
Other than this, I don’t think there’s anything wrong about using the feature as it is. I actually find OP question quite “absurd”, like for me the answer is obviously not wrong.. just use the feature in the software (lemmy)
Yeah I was thinking that maybe it is absurd. The crosspost function is there for a reason. But I still felt unsure on if there is some netiquette that I’m unaware of.
