Thanks for posting this bright idea! 😊
As a prior Reddit user, I do agree that there's a great deal of value to be obtained from crossposting. It's a very valuable tool to, as you stated, pass content along to multiple audiences.
As a primary Ecency front-end user (among other front-ends depending on what I'm doing), I actually had an easy time cross-posting. I was able to select the option to crosspost and type in a community name. The process was seamless. This may be something that other front-ends can utilize.
That said, the crosspost does still lead back to the original post, so that people who see it will end up commenting on the original post. It's not a bad design by any means, but if someone wants to stay in their original community, this can run the risk of becoming confusing.

Yeah, I agree, I think we'd see it being used a lot more if the "cross-post" didn't have rewards declined. While most newer users and those without a lot of autovotes wouldn't mind, those who do and are practically those with a lot of "attention" on hive aren't keen to use the cross-posting feature cause they'd screw over their autovoters which is something I reckon 90% of them wouldn't want to risk.
Thanks, wasn't aware @ecency also has adopted the cross-posting feature!
