Crossposts might be annoying, because

  • essentially they are the “repost” feature of lemmy. And repeats might be low quality spam, because you have to look at the source, how often it was reposted already, etc.
  • crossposts might seem like a cry for unwarranted attention, but they might be necessary in a fractured federated system like Lemmy …

Or do you not care when realizing “this is a crosspost”?

    Not annoyed, usually just confused.

    I understood what cross posts were on Reddit, but here they’re sometimes connected somehow? I don’t get it.

    Especially when it is crossposted from a community with the same name as another community but a different Lemmy server. I’m like where am I?
