Since Lemmy doesn't suck down data like corporate social media does simply lurking doesn't contribute to an instance's growth.
And when you crosspost that content elsewhere, with no comments or upvoting on the original, it diminishes that instance's power and influence just a bit and contributes to a more decentralized Lemmy-verse
We should be doing the same with .world, not because of toxic propaganda pushing admins, but just so that content is more decentralized in general. But I'm just 1 person who refuses to automate it, soo I can only do so much lmao
On Lemmy, big comms, user counts and content are an instances influence, the more you have the less others will be willing to defederate from you. Kinda why .ml can get away with so much crap
Good explanation, thanks!
