I occasionally come across content in my feed that I think would be of interest to one of the small communities that I participate in. Think photo or article, not something personal. Is it appropriate for me to crosspost the content? Without asking the OP? What about if I ask but the OP never responds?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    When you post something online, it’s generally assumed that crossposting might happen (unless it’s posted on a site that specifically doesn’t allow crossposting). I would think that if the OP really didn’t want you to crosspost, they’d explicitly say so in their post. If they don’t, it’s on them, not you.

    Generally, I’d say crossposting is fine - but be sure to include attribution if it’s a creative work.
