My personal opinion is to pick the top two or three most applicable communities and post there.
As someone who primarily browses Local or All, after seeing the third identical post it starts looking like spam.
I second this. If I see the same question twice in two different communities, I don’t see that as a problem, and if I think it’s an interesting conversation starter, I’ll probably look at both posts, to see all the different comments.
Three feels like the limit. Any more than that is just obnoxious.
Lemmy needs some sort of built-in way to merge them. That’d be the best solution I think. Then you could just pick a list of relevant communities and it’d be pretty seamless
I think the crossposting feature lemmy has effectively does this, but I’m not sure
It’s about halfway there I think, they still show up separately in clients and have separate comments threads.

This is an easily solvable problem if the front end could just group posts with the same link
