Ah thanks for that, i changed the link.

I know you have said before that you don’t like crossposts for some reason. But if a post is relevant to multiple communities (there are more than a few music and art communities that i am involved in) then I don’t understand why that would be an issue. Or even encouraged?

For instance this post is part of the deadpost initiative for which there is a community, but is also a live musical performance, for which there is a specific community, (hivestreet of which I am a moderator) and there are multiple general music communities as well as general art communities that encourage musical posts.

Should I deny these communities my musical genius because It is not natively posted there?

The other, perhaps bigger issue, is that I normally post with 3speak, though I could not yesterday as the site seams to be totally bugging out right now, and they have a very short list of communities that you can post into from that platform. Most of the communities that I subscribe to are not part of that list. This means that if i don’t crosspost then I can’t use communities at all.

I can inderstand why a community would not want irrelevant content being posted in their feed but i don’t understand why they would ignore good relevant content simply because the poster is part of multiple communities.

To be honest I feel like this whole communities thing kind of sucks. It’s seems to be divisive, it’s not intuitive, and it just adds more complexity to an already complex system. I don’t see what “communities” do that a decent search function wouldn’t besides take more of the creators cut of the rewards.

Anyway, I appreciate what you’re doing and thank you for the feedback. Perhaps you can link me to a good resource on community etiquette and usage? I would like to have a better understanding of this.
