Comment on News and Politics in /c/australia: "She'll be right", or "not on, mate"?
hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 days agoI think seeing posts that are relevant but don’t interest you as a user are less of a problem than a lack of content at the moment. However, best to start as we would mean to continue.
I’d be more inclined to leave it to users to up and down vote as appropriate and mark as cross posts. Some people who browse all may be unaware of some local communities. Cross posting to relevant communities allows discovery. I would think that not all political posts should be cross posted but major ones could be.

Only if it makes sense. @ikt@aussie.zone has a valid point about having smaller communities until there’s enough traffic to justify dividing it up, which I personally think is less critical on aussie.zone due to how the site is set up but can be make-or-break on forums with distinct boards, where it just gets filled with 3 half-dead communities instead of 1 active, inviting community.
Agreed.
