My main Strategie is to Daily post, and for communitys where thats hard, having a good consistent scheduel st the least is always good.
Also always Crosspost if possible. Crossposting was the main way how back in the day, I got my Faivourite reddit community from 1000 to 10000 Subscribers, and it still work pretty well here as well
Not all apps show crossposts yet, or don't do so prominently. And a post going big in one community, can cannibalize all the other cross-posts due to de-duplication, meaning only one post gets the lions share of votes.
I've since changed my posting tool to actually make the various cross-posts at different times, instead of all at once.
This works well with my communities as art isn't time sensitive, and it's also kind of an excuse to re-post something a couple times, so different people can see it.

Very good point
It might be interesting if upvoting crossposted content also upvoted the cross-posts, if their timestamps are close. Like 12 hours maybe.
For now, better UIs around cross-posts will help.
Oh nice, I didn't know you were contributing to Thunder, that's cool!
Yeah, but haven't for a while. I was very active at the start, but got busy with life and other projects.
One of which is another Lemmy related little thing: lemmytrixposter
Also set up @saucechan@ani.social
Hopefully getting into another stint of Thunder contributions now. I got dismiss read, the FAB, sidebars, and a bunch more stuff done last time.

This is neat!
I guess thats why Boost automatically attaches a "Crossposted from X" when crossposting, just to make sure
That's a behaviour inherited from the webUI.
It doesn't actually do anything. I usually remove it because it's just redundant, and the link takes you off-instance 99% of the time. Also it only works in one direction. The proper cross post links appear on both/all three/or more posts.
The webUI shows cross-posts as little links in the post info, and some clients do something similar.
Photon handles it well, and Thunder has had basic support for a while. But I'm looking to make it very easy to hop between several posts by displaying some details about each one in a list, like votes, comment count, and post date.
I see, i think ill keep it on for the time being tho, making sure that all is atleast somewhat interconnected universally probably aint a bad idea
You might replace it with a community mention, those at least are now clickable in pretty much all clients.
Whats that
One of these !touch_fluffy_tail@ani.social
And that's not markdown btw. It's just the name in plaintext with the !, which becomes clickable in basically all clients now.
Eventually something similar should exist for exact posts and comments.
