Why though?
We can just subscribe to the community on lemmy.ml, there's no point reposting when it's already there ready to federate.

Because cm0002 is reposting content without prior permission, it made me think about it, people got a real hate boner for lemmy.ml but maybe they have differing opinions for reposting?
"Reposting content without prior permission"?
Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

Lulz. I just stole your comment. It's mine now.
NOOOOO I'M GOING TO SUE YOU IN LEMMY COURT
Lemmy Court sounds like a fun community idea.
Ha yeah. Like a Fedidrama comm but funnier.
Could sue people with silly opinions, drag their butts to Lemmy Court (and probably get dragged yourself too)
I reckon that this topic is - at least partly - about my desire to not have my OC insta reposted by them. So it is about OC.
I don't mind the normal cross post, but this half automated reposting, with the stated goal to reduce the already measly interaction i get posting niche stuff, that i don't like. But apparently, at least according to @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world , I need to see a mental health expert for taking issue with that.

FYI, it's not automated, the most automation I use is notifications. Everything else is done completely manually. And crossposting is easy, a notification comes in and I can take care of it in most cases right away wherever I'm at because, ya know, smartphones LOL it just takes me a few minutes lmao
Also, you're slinging insults at or about mods, comms, admins and whole instances that have nothing to do with it so maybe that's where they're coming from on that lol
He also steals crow pictures which I’ve reported to every crow picture stealing authority imaginable and all I get are welfare calls from mental health experts.
Very funny, right? That I don't want to have my pictures insta reposted, with the stated goal to reduce the already measly interaction i get posting niche stuff? You thought that was so funny you drew them that avatar. Bravo.
Everything's got to be about politics here.
They stole that crow picture from me.
I’ve been reporting it to anyone who will listen and the only things I get back are what’s Lemmy and why is a crow wearing a pirate hat?
We’re not enemies we’re brothers bonjour.
Haha. At least you have some good humour and you drew that pirate crow quite nice. Cheers brother.

what
Crow politics you know?
Yeah I voted for the Ca-Caw Party
Repost, no.
They should grow organically on nicer instances.
I try to unsubscribe ML communities when I find a decent alternative anywhere else.
I don't mind when people crosspost.
Sure, why not. And they can do the same over to their side. And stealing certian content from Reddit would also be good.
I assume crossposts are handled properly by Lemmy's feeds? I don't think I've noticed duplicates much. My answer would change if not, because there's going to be no way to predict people's replication preferences.
I have, before, posted one item that I thought was interesting on !technology@beehaw.org to !technology@lemmy.world, as I know that beehaw.org has defederated from lemmy.world and the item was interesting and otherwise lemmy.world users wouldn't have seen it.
I don't think that I'd try to mirror the complete content of a community, though. I mean, different communities may have different interests.
yeah for sure
the main reason i havent defederated is bc of how much stuff is from there
