Title. I’m wondering what’s everyone’s take on this. On the one hand it’d mean seeing multiples of one post if you’re subscribed to equivalent communities between communities. On the other hand, right now I think a big worry is this momentum we have dying out due to lack of content.
We can’t possibly predict which community will be the “big” community across the Fediverse, so maybe cross-posts are the way to go until things grow big enough.
Thoughts?
OK, dumb question probably but a quick web search did not help me (also my fault probably). But how do you crosspost? Do you need to @ place the other community names in the Subject or in the Tags or in the Text of your post?
I don’t think it’s implemented here yet. There are open issues at codeberg though.
I see. Thank you for your reply, also to @grus. I will go the manual route for now too until we can do it right from our posts :-)
You use tags. You can see this for yourself if you want to know if a tag will get picked up and where it might either pull from or go to: https://kbin.social/tag/food. This FAQ talks about how tags work.
Thank you, using tags is a good idea. Unfortunately I did not find a way yet to “follow” tags or “subscribe” to them like I can do with Magazines. If this is possible and people would use it, then this would be even more powerful than crossposting. I’m learning new stuff every day, this feels a bit like the early, magical days of the www. There´s so much to learn and discover :-)
