So, if I want to post something on, say, the Technology community o. Midwest.Social, is it good/bad etiquette to also post it on the Technology community on another instance like Lemmy.ml or beehaw.org?

Honestly. I think more activity for Lemmy will be good. So cross post away

There's no standard atm but I don't know why it would be an issue frankly. Mostly because that's the whole point of this federation.

Following, because I am interested in this as well. I am biased enough though to think that a cross positing bot between communities of shared interest makes sense to me.

I think it's fine as long as the post fits in each community.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Depends.

First of all these communities might have the same name, but are not exactly the same, so the post might fit or not.

I also think that mass-crossposting in one go is not ok.

Do as you please. It's not like Reddit had any etiquette for crossposting, except for subreddit-specific rules.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Would be nice to have some sort of native crosspost function similar to Reddit's, so that threads are connected to each other rather than just reposted separately.
