I’ve been conflicted about this. For example beehaw has a larger technology community but I’m a fan of lemmy.world so I try to post interesting content there to help the site.
Beehaw might not be the best example since it’s defederated but you get the idea
You feed the community you want to see grow. If I was concerned about community size, I’d still be on reddit. You could post to the Beehaw community, which may mean more views, or you could contribute to your local instance’s community, which will show people that it is active, which will lead to people posting there as well, which will lead to growth. Or you could always post to both.
Well, Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world, so I guess no more views.
Is there an easy way to cross post on here?
I new here as well, so maybe, but I wouldn’t know. I just usually post both times seperately, maybe making small changes to the title.
