Nice! When I saw the title of your post I knew I would not be disappointed. With so many new things on Steem, and me getting maybe a tenth of the time online I normally do, I even thought I'd wait exploring communities till I'm back at home. But thanks to your informative review I'm excited to try posting in communities.
One thing I'm not quite sure about though: since I'll be writing posts on the Earthship build, I'd like to share it in ecotrain AND build-it. But that would require cross-posting, which in a way is publishing the same post twice. Is that really worth it? What do you recommend?
In Steempeaks introduction post for the feature they say crossposting is to keep posts evergreen. It should only be crossposted after the 7 day payout(you get another payout for each post crossposted) and only once per 7 day period. Also, its bad etiquette to crosspost your own content, but anyone can. You left this info/advice out @eco-alex.

this is the THING right now.. i Truly hope that the @steempeak Devs will consider allowing us to post to at least 2 communities in one post.. i think that will really help more diverse communities grow.
I think with a limit of just one community to post to, people will choose the bigger communities, or ones offering tokens/tribes.. even if the community aspect isn't there... and most people like you and I are already stuck with this new difficult choice.. as before we could just tag a few groups and they would all see them in their feeds...
so for now, we do have an authentic reason to post twice.. It seems inefficient in terms of the blockchain data, but necessary if you want to put something in two communities.. else you can crosspost instead of copying which is slightly more transparent that its a copy..
fingers crossed this may be tweaked with in future!

The way the system is designed There is no such thing as posting into 2 communities with one post. However you are free to post the same content into multiple communities.

i think that may end up being a way,. the Only issue is people who have auto-voters on them,,. theres quite a few folk i know who cause some issues there .. but maybe thats a reason to stop auto-voting rather than double posting ;_) .. at least for now, as things stand, were trying to decide how to proceed!.. and so far double posting seems the best option..

Why should we cater to the ineptitudes of auto voter systems that don't adapt to how we now do things? It's as if they're holding us hostage?
Auto-voter systems need to update.

im inclined to agree.. there are going to be some knock on changes that may well need to happen.. mostly positive too if it encourages manual voting!
@dtube and @threespeak etc COULD in theory also provide a way to alter the first tag.. MAYbe.. thats a big ask though probably

You can't alter the first tag... it's very different from the rest from what I know.

Right.. so the main thing that will need to change is our posting behavior .. we will all have to double post videos etc to share with our chosen community.. rather than rely on tags..
Or to put another way..
we can rely on our Blog feeds tags to see media posts in general ..

it's worth mentioning that i think everyone posting on dtube or threespeak etc will HAVE to double post to share with their community.. as you cannot change the initial tags on all of those systems.. unless i missed something..
