I've not figured out this cross-posting feature yet, but I see you can re-Steem your community posts to your feed. I assume in that case they only count as one post.
Yes, so this add a community post to your own blogroll.
Cross-posting creates a new post and therefore, a new open reward opportunity. The benefit is, you can post someone else's content and take a small slice of the author reward, the community gets a small slice, and the original author takes 90%. It is a powerful opportunity to incentivize sharing and give a lot of exposure for authors, plus additional rewards.
Cheers. I will look at how it is being used and see where I can use it. Don't want to overload people with posts.
Yeah, I am unlikely to ever cross-post my own post as it opens up getting multiple rewards on the same content. But I might use it for someone else's. You can see through SteemPeak how it looks in the feed if you go to example, @acidyo's posts.
I will look at using it to add some content to my guitar community. I hope more musicians will join when they get support there.
Yep, I think there is the opportunity to increase visibility on the noobs who come in with great content.
