Cross-posting and making seventeen posts is quite different.
And no, no-one cross-posts in a dozen and more communities. And anyone who does it in more than three gets blocked, because that's spam on Lemmy. It'd be the same as posting the exact same post to Reddit every hour on the hour for 12 hours straight.
Actually cross posting and making 17 posts are literally the exact same thing, if you're making those 17 posts in different forums
Lmao I didn't proofread my comment
Okay Cross-posting twice to relevant forums which don't have overlap in readers, is what I should've specified, is different than willy-nilly spamming for attention.
Slight correction: crossposting twice to relevant forums isn't spam regardless of the overlap in readership, because they are two different forums. It would be spam if they posted it multiple times to the same community on the same instance. Kind of like how you posted 10 copies of that one reply under the same comment in the same thread in the same community on the same instance. Pretty embarrassing for you tbh
You're using the word "forum" a bit wrong. Lemmy is one forum with several communities.
If he posts it once on Lemmy and once somewhere else, we wouldn't be having this chat.
Instead he posted four (4) times in a row on one (1) forum.
Pretty embarrassing for you to think that arguments online are embarrassing. What are you, 12?
Now we get to argue semantics? Yay! Imagine that instead of "forums," I had said "communities" or "subforums" or "groups" or any other similar word, and then respond to that instead of getting onto me for using a word differently from you.
I didn't say that arguments online are embarrassing, I said that your particular attempt to relate what OP did (post the same comic four different times in four different communities) (not spam) to what you did (post the same reply ten different times in response to the same comment) (literally spam) was embarrassing

No its not.
The feed one sees (or, well, used to see) in, say, LemmyNSFW, isn't the same feed one sees in far-left Lemmygrad or Hexbear (especially when they were defederated from the entirety of the Fediverse due to domain ownership issues), which isn't the same feed from right-wing/far-right/ancap instances, which isn't the same feed from automated bridging instances (e.g. Lemmit, Bridgy or Mostr instances), which isn't the same feed as aggregators (such as Flipboard), which isn't the same feed ones sees in general-purpose lemmy.zip... Or in geographically-specific instances such as feddit.org, lemmy.eco.br, feddit.cl... I guess you got the point.
I've personally been in many of those instances, I've seen each of their feeds. And I promise you: they're definitely not the same. Their contents don't necessarily appear in other instances.
And if we include other non-Lemmy platforms (such as Misskey), the differences goes off the charts. Misskey "forums", for example, are definitely a whole other (animesque) world. Flipboard, Wordpress blogs... They got wholly different feeds. Some of them make their way to some Lemmy instances.
In the end, it all boils down to which instances each instance federates to or defederates with.
Lemmy, and by extension the Fediverse, is but "one" monolithic thing. Ain't "oneness" when it comes to the Fediverse: this is what Reddit is (as per your previous reply to my comment), it's Reddit which got "one forum with several communities", not Lemmy, definitely not Fediverse.
