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

A lot of clients filter out the 2nd, 3rd.. instance of crossposted posts in their main feeds

Which client does that?

The default Lemmy-UI (website), IDK about others

Apparently Photon also has that option.

Tbh I'm parroting what others have told me, I' not sure which clients do that
