Does it make sense to cross post to most than one community to read the most people and contribute to Lemmy being active or is that spam?

I used to just post on .world but disagree with some of their admin and mod policies so I try to post on .ml then cross post. Is it worth cross posting to even small instances or should I expect their users are on the bigger communities too? I don’t want to spam but only posting in .world misses the point of decentralization

A lot of clients filter out the 2nd, 3rd.. instance of crossposted posts in their main feeds, so only the first one gets shown. Therefore if I crosspost I do it the following way:
-
First post it in a small community. All people who are subscribed to this community will see the post in this community.
-
Then crosspost to a bigger community. Everyone not subscribed to the first small community will see the post in here.

Which client does that?
-
The default Lemmy-UI (website), IDK about others
-
Apparently Photon also has that option.

I’d also like to know

Tbh I'm parroting what others have told me, I' not sure which clients do that

Got it. I don’t think voyager does :/
