I've got a lot of concerns about communities, too. There are easily half a dozen that I look at and, given enough time, would actually actively enjoy. Most of them are small, and I'm not the least interested in cross posting.
Personally, I think my plan is to try to do some more curation type engagement, since I just cannot create content in a timely fashion anymore, and try for fewer, higher quality posts. Except for Sunday's. Sundays are for shit fun.
I share your sentiment regarding crossposting and agreed... Sundays rule haha!!!
