    I usually just ask users on mastodon in dms whether theyre fine with me posting it here and then make a completely new post if they say yes. For the actual video I download it from mastodon then usually shrink it to around half width and height and optimize it a bit so its within the lemmy file size limit

    For actual crossposts from mastodon only the original author can do that and by tagging the lemmy community

      Ah that makes sense, thank you! I’d crossposted my own content from mastodon so I wasn’t sure how to do it for others
