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

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My case was selfhosted for ml, world, then slrpnk. Usually just two the first too but thought it might be nice to contribute to the last one.

As someone on slrpnk I definitely appreciate people posting to our communities!

Thanks for your input! So cross posting there is helpful in your eyes? Are you in some smaller communities there rather than world or ml?
