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.

Just crosspost it. The points don’t matter here. The only time I’d hesitate and ask is if it was very clearly OC.

I think even if it’s OC, it’s fine if you very clearly credit it.
No creative is gonna get angry at someone going “hey check out this cool content I found by this person”

This is technically about using Lemmy so breaks rule #3. However, it’s a good question and I haven’t seen it lately, so putting away the mod hammer.

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.

News article, discussion, opinion…all fine. I would not crosspost Cosplay or art work. Obv, nudes are a no-go.
