Etiquette of sharing blog posts: should I share full text? (self.meta)

Hi all, I have a blog and I wanted to start sharing it on lemmy, but I am wondering, should I post the entire content of the blog post when I post it?

For context, my blog is ad-free, so I'm not concerned about missing out on ad revenue.

But my blog posts are longer than average, so it may be quite long to post them here. Moreover, the blog post may have graphics or mermaid diagrams that are not easily copy able. Is it a good practice to share the full text in the lemmy post despite this, or should I only share the URL?

If it's your own blog you're free to share it in whatever manner you like. If it's not your own blog you should respect the wishes of the author, meaning ask for permission if you want to copy paste the entire blog. Otherwise, excerpts alongside credits to the author is fine.
