  • Personally, I think it’s fine for people to cross-post stuff they think is relevant to the communities here. I’d prefer it over links to Reddit, because it lets people engage with the content here. I doubt posts in !newzealand@lemmit.online will get nearly as much attention as the ones on lemmy.nz. The Lemmit bot makes it pretty obvious that it’s taken from Reddit. I think one guideline would be not to remove the bot’s text from the post, nor the “cross-posted from” text that’s generated when it’s cross-posted here.

    As for question posts, it would be a weird thing to cross-post. I guess if someone wanted to give credit to the OP on Reddit. I can’t see that happening too often, unless it’s a pretty broad question that generates discussion - in which case, it doesn’t seem to matter to me if there’s a separate discussion going on here.












  • FYI: You can embed images in posts/comments by wrapping the URLs like this:

    ![](https://files.catbox.moe/ejnvze.jpg)

    which will do this:

    You can also make that a link to the full size image like this:

    [![](https://files.catbox.moe/ejnvze.jpg)](https://files.catbox.moe/ejnvze.jpg)

    Edit: That all applies to images hosted elsewhere. You can also tap the little image icon amongst the formatting icons which will upload the image here and format the embed code for you.
