I don’t usually crosspost quickly because it acts more like c/all spam for the people that browse it

Oh well, all my cross posts to every other gaming community I can see are blowing up, I guess beehaw is the only place quicker on the trigger on this one than everywhere else.

yeahhhh and I mean, there’s no rule about it so it’s not like you’re in trouble or anything, this is just a thing I care about. If this was reddit it wouldn’t matter, the upvotes would sort it out or both threads would just coexist and it would be fine. In this smaller community, two people posting the same story from diff sources at the same time can lead to both comment threads being relatively dead. I will call this out in comments occasionally just bc I like to see big threads with lots of comments and lively discussion! My hope is folks will double-check before posting in the future. In this case, I think the other post blew up before you posted, so it just means that this comment section will be sorta dead. Glad you cross-posted to the other gaming communities!

Yeah, I’m not trying to like, karma farm… I usually do this kind of strat with like, some kind of serious world/us/political/financial news.
I’m trying to maximize visibility, but… yeah, a side effect of that is diffuse comment sections… both within one community/lemmy, and across diffent communities/lemmys.
I dunno.
Who is or isn’t federated with who?
I dunno.
