I can see that if I create several posts with the same link, they are matched as such. The other posts are linked in the «cross published» section at the top (on lemmy-ui).
If a post is relevant to two different communities (example: a climate-dedicated community and a more general news commyunity), should I post it in each ?
If so, how to ease the process without having to separately copy / paste all parts of the post ?

When there are multiple relevant communities, I post on the smaller community and crosspost that to the bigger one. I hope thay this would advertise the smaller community in the bigger one since I expect that some people in the bigger one may be interested in the smaller community but don’t know about it.
Generally speaking I don’t mind when the same article pops up three times in a row, in related communities. When it gets to 4+ it starts to look a little excessive to me.
