Submitted this a while back to the Lemmy GitHub issues, thought I would post it back here to possibly grab traction/start a discussion on it

    I love this idea but how do you decide to which community a new comment gets posted?

      With the feature request I posted on GitHub, it would work similarly to reposting/reblogging on Mastodon.

      Except inside Lemmy anyone who can post in the community would (most likely) create a post linking to an existing post and it would appear that the post mentioned just got posted into that community

      Moderators would ideally see who created that crosspost and have the ability to block that person from crossposting (or posting entirely) to that community w/o affecting the third-party post

      If someone wouldn’t want their posts crossposted they can just block the community’s actor (account)
