If you cross-post the same question on multiple sites, you should include links to all other versions of the question in every post, even in the original one. X-posting without explicit links has the risk of wasting both the time of users who might put time and effort into answering a post, which already has an answer elsewhere, as well as the time of users who might have the same problem but can't find the solutions you might have gotten on one of the other sites you x-posted your question

Some users are downvoting me because I'm crossposting so I'm not going spend time listing crossposts anymore

Out of my 50 questions so far on this site, less than 10% received a useful answer but I've received way more non-answer comments. I just want to use Q&A, not all the other part.

If the users of a site don't appreciate cross-posts, trying to hide the fact that they are cross-posts seems like a poor solution. This risks wasting the time of volunteers and the time of other users with the same problem.

samcarter‭ they can use Google. Finding dupes is easily automated.

Someone, who volunteers their free time to help others, shouldn't have to first search in order to see if this is a cross-post.

samcarter‭ sounds like a platform issue

samcarter‭ I don't respect people who bury my posts with downvotes.

samcarter‭ I don't respect people who bury my posts with downvotes. I've been nothing but nice so far but evidently that's of no use so I won't spend my free time listing crossposts.
