i have been on lemmy since the reddit exodus and use it every day… even post from time to time and i have no confidence at all about what cross-post means, or how to carry it out, or what the results look like.
i am sure that it’s very simple, but…?

What client do you use? There’s a cross post button on every post, which lets you post it to another community, but linking back to the original post.

thanks. i took a moment to find it (boost). but it now leads me back to the OP question…
if a crosspost came up during my lemmy scroll, it will probably look exactly the same as if i had made the post to each community individually. so is crossposting a meaningful alternative?

Well, its convienient, and it links back to the original post.
