Does it make sense to cross post to most than one community to read the most people and contribute to Lemmy being active or is that spam? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

I used to just post on .world but disagree with some of their admin and mod policies so I try to post on .ml then cross post. Is it worth cross posting to even small instances or should I expect their users are on the bigger communities too? I don’t want to spam but only posting in .world misses the point of decentralization

Depends how active the non-LW communities are

!movies@lemm.ee has 931 weekly active users / 2.5k monthly compared to 644 weekly active users / 1.5k monthly for !movies@lemmy.world

https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=movies&order=active

In this case you could only post to the Lemm.ee version.

There are cases where it's the opposite ( !parenting@lemmy.world , !homeimprovement@lemmy.world , !photography@lemmy.world ). In those cases I would only post on the LW community
