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.

As long as you link to the original, go for it

Linking between instances is kinda weird right now, apparently. There’s no good way to link to a specific post in a way that’s accessible for users across instances.
