the only reason I ever go back to reddit is that it has some specialized subs we just don’t have here yet. But sometimes you have to start posting to an audience of 0 to get things going.

Same. I've had some success with starting or reviving communities just by posting and commenting regularly, interspersed with a few cross-posts to related communities. Be the change you want to see in the world, and I hope more users will come!

    I feel like a big hurdle is the way you have to type out cross posts. There was just something elegant about Reddits solution: /r/subreddit.

    I feel like a big hurdle is the way you have to type out cross posts.

    What typing are you referring to? I just click the cross-post button, which seems to do most of the work of filling in the title and URL fields, quoting the body text, etc.

    I do wish that cross-posts were more embedded though, like Reddit cross-posts. It currently seems that if the original post is edited, these changes to not propagate to any cross-posts.
