Upvote given to a crosspost goes to both the crossposted post and the orignal post

  I had a vaguely similar idea a while ago and someone pointed out that this could incentivize spamming posts to as many communities as possible, even communities that are only questionably relevant or not relevant at all, to farm upvotes.

    what can we do so that both the communities get promoted?

  What if the post isn’t particularly appropriate for one community, but very good for another? No point having it float to the top of the one it’s not the best fit for.

  Like, maybe it’s still relevant on that community but shouldn’t be artificially inflated with votes from an entirely different group of people with different interests.

  Nice idea, I just don’t think it would be good in practice.

  What you want is Group-to-Group Following, which obviates the need for most cross-posting altogether.

    hopefully mods see this.

  A bit pedantic, but it’s developers that need to implement it first

  From what I can tell, there’s no way to confirm if something is a crosspost? Using the webui button just autofills some details, and the little indicator will disappear as soon as you edit either post

  While I haven’t seen any of those communities on Lemmy yet, but what about communities that crosspost but for the completely different reasons. Like a post from “We love X” getting crossposted and made fun of over at “X is stupid”. Those two really shouldn’t be sharing up and down votes, and when we are at it what about downvotes? That makes bringing and bullying extremely easily and how would it be handled between places where one has down votes and the other have them turned off.

  Why? When I post a link and at the same same formulate some opinion on it in the body of the thread, and you do the same with the same link but in another community and with your own opinion, then that’s still also a crosspost. Why should those two share the upvotes/downvotes?

    mutual promotion.

      Let’s take some example. You have news about Biden. You post it in some community with probably your pro-Biden opinion along with it. Then you have someone else posting the same link on c/conservative with obviously an anti-Biden opinion attached to it. Why should the two mutually promote themselves?

  Also when you click at an article it opens it in new tab

  Instead of upvotes can we have something like a link showing up below the post (in both places) pointing to where it has been cross-posted, so that may be can visit if interested and engage with comments. This can increase interaction in both places.

  For karma whores this means that they will flood the fediverse with cross-posts, posting into all possible and mismatched for topic communities. I am against this. Already I see duplicates and triplicates on my Home Screen.

    we could fix that with an anti-duplicate filter.
