In your opinion should reposts be allowed, and if so, what should the minimum time period between them be? (lemmy.ml)

reposts are bad, bla bla bla

but if almost nobody saw it before, or new people saw the repost for the first time, is it really a bad thing?

i see many reposts in communities, but both the [oc] and the [repost] do get many upvotes, which means that there are definitely some people who missed the post before; the question is: should reposts be allowed within a smaller time frame (if at all), and whether it’s worth the sacrifice of the imaginable property of q u a l i t y of content

i’m interested to hear what you think

If topic is the talk of the town, 3 days. Less important than that, 7 days. Obscure topic, 14 days.
