I mean, I get annoyed when I see the same thing posted to two communities back to back, but 5 is ridiculous and extremely poor fediquite.
Edit: Seems the poster is some kind of spam bot. As one commenter pointed out, they seem to have spammed this to any community with “music” in the name. And it’s more than shows up in the screenshot. A LOT more.
Bonus mildly infurating: How can it be an 90s song and an 80s song?
Released in 89 and stayed on the charts through the 90?
Uuuuughhhhh. Fine. lol. Take my upvote. 😆
They also posted it to 70’s music haha.
This song is 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, 10’s, and 20’s music.
I’m terrified this is gonna be a Rick roll 😆
Anybody listen to radio stations that used to say “the best of the 80s, 90s, and today“? Wonder what they say now.
They posted it to any community that had “music” in the name regardless of if it fit. Either a spam bot or those annoying people who think more is always better when it comes to getting your name out there.
Yeah, I just noticed that when I went into their profile after posting this. They just earned a spam ban.
Not about this specific post (which might be a spam bot), but in general: If a post fits several community, I don’t think it’s something bad to crosspost it to them.
I’m of the opinion that you should pick one. If there’s not enough engagement after a respectable period of time, post to another. I definitely don’t think one needs to broadcast their thoughts/opinions out on all frequencies every time.
Then you get, why are you reposting this, you just posted this 3 days ago.
The solution is to cross post, and let the users filter the content they don’t want. Why follow 5x different music communities using your logic?
We out here Top 6 Hours’in’ All.
But the moment Lemmy/the average app supports cross-post consolidation or duplicate filtration, I’ll definitely agree. Even until then, you’re not wrong, but it does complicate recommending a best practice.
I’ve been known to block users that cross-post like this often.
Same.
It’s even worse on the NSFW instances.
It’ll be 20+ posts in a row by the same person.
As someone who used to post OC, it’s why I left. Nothing but OF spam bots and pics of pornstars. Reddit is somehow the better option, unfortunately.
Lol I saw it so much I had to click on it and I told myself if it sucked I would come back and block the user… turns out the song isn’t very good so now I don’t have to see it ever again
You fell for its trap
Lol literally just blocked it like 6 times lol
What UI is that?
There’s nothing wrong with posting the same post to several groups, as long as it’s a text post and not a link. I will also vote down or block people posting just a link
It would be nice if we could specify a priority list for communities (each user creates their own). If a post is crossposted to multiple communities, only the one posted to the community with the highest priority gets shown on the feed.
They posted it to connectasong which is especially annoying. We have VERY specific posting rules over there! It’s a game!
