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"?

as similar instances with similar moderation policies have to be found by each other …

They usually are, some examples on !fedigrow@lemm.ee

Some admins just want to keep their communities open no matter what. See an example here: https://sopuli.xyz/post/24057566

Feel free to chime in with your own input, or just a link to this point, at this point I'm just kind of done with that conversation.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

ex. How do I change oil
ex. How to tie shoes
ex. Can you cry underwater?

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.
