So, I posted one music video.from YouTube and one Spotify link, that is posting the same song twice in one group, granted, I can acknowledge that, but if I cross post, which one has the option to do, and you are following both communities that I cross post to, then how do you suggest I don't spam? Genuinely wondering, because I cannot control which communities someone follows, but I am given the option to cross post? The expectation is that I never cross post and spread my promotions across multiple hours or days to avoid annoying someone who coincidently follows multiple of the same communities I have chosen to post in?

    I don't know anything about marketing, so I don't have the answers for that. All I can tell you is why some people dislike what you're doing. It's up to you if you want to continue doing that or figure out something different. For all I know, it might be better for you to just accept the downvotes and continue spamming.

    I'd like to avoid spamming so that the things I've worked on don't get down voted for being annoying, and I am genuinely trying to figure out if making multiple posts is actually different than cross posting if someone follows the same communities I'm posting in, so I guess, in that sense, it actually might be worth it to spam for the sake of experimentation, but wow, the negativity is real. Like, when I see something that doesn't especially matter to me, I don't down vote, I just keep scrolling? Idk? 🤷🏼

    Cross-posts appear differently depending on your client. I'm using Lemmy as my web client and Boost on Android. Both of them show cross-posts as independent posts. The only difference is that there's a little marker to tell you that it's cross-posted. I think on Piefed, they aggregate the comments from each cross-post. I don't know what they do with the top level post.

    You should also know that upvotes and downvotes are public on this platform. It's not a good look when you upvote your own comments like that.
