    So what’s the problem? The post gets visibility and interaction if it’s good with eyeballs on it. Lemmy doesn’t have a “reputation” system like Reddit. Votes don’t matter, and you’re not monetizing it.

      But the post on the big instance is not helping the small instance grow, which is why they put it there. Over-centralization isn’t desirable.

          I’ve started many comms. I find far more subscribers after direct posts than when I cross-post to the point I don’t do it any more.
