There is !ageofsigmar@lemmy.ca but generally you wanna stick to the bigger places like !warhammer40k@lemmy.world due to the simple fact that the usercounts just aren't that big, and that gets worse the more you subdivide a given fandom.

I do try to cross-post to smaller communities, nothing stops you from posting to every suitable community. That way, the smaller places have a way to grow, even as they semi-hibernate in terms of activity most of the time.

Also, !grimdank@lemmy.world.

Yeah the crosspost feature is important if you want it to show up in multiple communities. That allows clients to filter out the duplicates if the user wants it that way.

You don't technically need to use the actual cross-post button. What matters is that the url being linked is the same.

That's how articles and youtube videos, even when posted separately by different people, get linked up as cross-posts.

Some clients, (like Thunder) allow you to jump between all the different cross-posts so you can see all their comments.

True but for image posts i dont know how that would work in a noob friendly intuitive way.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 hours ago

If you grab the image url, and re-use it instead of uploading the image again to get a new link, it works.

Yeah this is already a little beyond me. I hope someone simplifies the whole system before too long because I'd love to drop reddit for good.

Just ignore what this nerd said (ily MentalEdge). Its like cross posting on reddit. You press the cross post button, select the community you want to crosspost to and hit send. Just read the rules but that is also nothing new.

Using the button will always work, so just do that if nothing else.

Suggestion: Post to the small community, crosspost to the big. I always check the original post and that's taken me to some niche communities. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who does that.
