Not all apps show crossposts yet, or don’t do so prominently. And a post going big in one community, can cannibalize all the other cross-posts due to de-duplication, meaning only one post gets the lions share of votes.

Very good point

It might be interesting if upvoting crossposted content also upvoted the cross-posts, if their timestamps are close. Like 12 hours maybe.

For now, better UIs around cross-posts will help.

Working on this for Thunder.

Oh nice, I didn't know you were contributing to Thunder, that's cool!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but haven't for a while. I was very active at the start, but got busy with life and other projects.

One of which is another Lemmy related little thing: lemmytrixposter

Also set up @[email protected]

Hopefully getting into another stint of Thunder contributions now. I got dismiss read, the FAB, sidebars, and a bunch more stuff done last time.
