cross posting is too damn easy and results in spam

I got yelled at for making original posts in multiple communities, now I get yelled at for cross posts. I'm just posting relevant content to relevant groups.

I thought the cross post was supposed to solve for it and your client only showS one post if you're subbed to multiple communities that it's cross posted to, no? I only see it once in my feeds.

Bro just pick a community and post in it. Stop trying to showcase the same photographs in every relevant community and you might not get down voted instantly by the people who sort by new or all.

"Stop posting in relevant communities"

Sincerely just trying to help post content to otherwise largely dead communities that often struggle to have a few posts in a week much less a day.

Also, I'm not getting down-voted on the whole. Apparently lots of people are enjoying the content.

I think I have figured it out but every time I look at it my brain has once again trouble understanding what it sees here 😅
