Crossposting etiquette?

So, if I want to post something on, say, the Technology community o. Midwest.Social, is it good/bad etiquette to also post it on the Technology community on another instance like Lemmy.ml or beehaw.org?

Honestly. I think more activity for Lemmy will be good. So cross post away

There's no standard atm but I don't know why it would be an issue frankly. Mostly because that's the whole point of this federation.

Depends.

First of all these communities might have the same name, but are not exactly the same, so the post might fit or not.

I also think that mass-crossposting in one go is not ok.

Following, because I am interested in this as well. I am biased enough though to think that a cross positing bot between communities of shared interest makes sense to me.

I think it's fine as long as the post fits in each community.

Do as you please. It's not like Reddit had any etiquette for crossposting, except for subreddit-specific rules.

Would be nice to have some sort of native crosspost function similar to Reddit's, so that threads are connected to each other rather than just reposted separately.
