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.
