It’s more that every sub had much different levels of activity so one repost would get attention while another dwindled.
The issue with Lemmy is activity is not centralized so each individual repost sees roughly as much activity as the other, so as far as sorting goes, they’re all considered to be as equally active, i.e. “Hot”. It’s all kind of flat line across communities.
We just need more activity, more people, more voting, making making more posts.
there were tons of cross posts on reddit, it’s just that they usually weren’t visible on the front page as such

The cross posts on reddit were terrible.
Same fucking post on awww, upliftingnews, mildlyinteresting, bustypetite, etc
That was different, you’d more rarely see one individual cross-posting to tons of subs. Instead it would be many individuals cross-posting.
That I do not have a problem with. 5 users starting 5 threads is different from 1 user starting 5 threads. Every cross-post is not equal.
