I can only speak for my experience, but cross posting works best if OP does it. That way he gets notified about responses.
Second best is, if someone cross posts content to discuss it with people he shares a community with. In that case reposter should make clear where the original content comes from and that he is not OP. That way informed readers can choose to answer in the community of their liking.

Yea. I've seen that.
In my opinion the person bringing content into the community has the responsibility to make something meaningful with it. E.g. start a conversation or get information and engage with the people.
If you're just adding links, thats fine, too. In the end, links are a way to bring attention to something worthy or funny.
Links are valuable, but there needs to be some comments with them to make it feel like it's worth sharing.
I've noticed a trend on the europe.pub community, it has literally only crossposts from other communities and 0 comments
For now it is only one person trying to generate content to be attractive.
I'm sure strategy will change in time.
Let's see. I'm not sure why anyone would choose to post there compared to established communities like [email protected] or [email protected], but everything is possible
The European domain and European breakway room has some appeal and might meet the zeitgeist.
Actually I've proposed the same to some admins but didn't follow through.
breakway room
What is that? I had a look at the sidebar, but didn't find anything
In a meeting you get break away rooms, where little teams can form and work. The instances has a place for any country, where people can exchange their ideas. They can then come together in a meta community like buyFromEU/buyEuropean . I like that idea very much.
