Wrong comm imo

He posted this in every comm north of the American Politics one

Fair criticism, I saw art share and thought, share my art!
I didn't realize it's basically all hand drawn art. I would agree with you on this.

Not every one, I did try to find relevant communities, being that I am in Toronto, Canada, and neither of those communities explicitly say they are news only, I thought maybe people would respond less harshly, but I guess people strongly dislike anything that isn't news in those actually-not-explicitly-news-communities. Art share was the wrong community, again, as I explained before, my bad, I saw art share and thought, I have art to share! I didn't realize it was basically all hand drawn art, so yeah, I agree, wrong community. Just trying my hand at alternative social medias, again, my bad.

Not all hand drawn but music is something else I guess.

You know there’s a MappleMusic community

If you spam post, people will notice and down vote because it’s look like a troll. I don’t think it’s a « anything but news » attitude

For sure. We did play it with our hands, and it is a music video, so there is a visual art aspect, but I can concede that it doesn't exactly fit the theme of the community.

I actually didn't know that there was a MappleMusic community, thank you for bringing this to my attention, I appreciate the help.
Also, do the posts show up as more than two posts in one community? Or is this a thing where you saw six of the same post across your feed because it was showing multiple communities? I'm honestly curious because I can understand why that would appear spammy.

2-3 post one after another in multiple communities, a bunch of other stuff and 2-3 post again.

There’s a cross post feature that you could use, also there’s a Music instance and a self promotion one somewhere.

Anyway you’re not that big of a spammer so don’t sweat too much about it

I don't want to be a spammer because a song I worked on with my good friends that we then spent money to complete and then film a whole music video for got 20 down votes overnight because people were annoyed, so I really do appreciate the feedback when it's constructive.
So I guess, making multiple posts in different communities is not the same as cross posting? Like, if I use the actual cross post option, would it actually appear differently in the feed? Or would it basically be the same?

Not a specialist but I think that if you use the cross post feature of Lemmy it will only post it once on someone feed. Again I’m not sure

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
