Good Q. I think in future each community would be tied to a different SMT, so it would make more sense then. Aside from that, if you want to pull a post into your community that was posted outside of it, this would be the mechanism. If you weren't following the original poster and came directly to steem for a community, you might not otherwise know that post exists.
Beyond that I'm trying to figure out the implications myself. I did just discover that crossposting will draw the autovotes following your account.
Yup. I made an IT centric community. It's a new feature of STEEM. I'm not sure about on steemit, but they are really straight-forward to join on steampeak.

so what i don't get is why would i vote on this post rather then just click on the link, read the real post and vote
what am i missing?
The cross post summons the cross poster's autovotes.
In a way, it does give undervalued post more rewards. The rep increase goes to the cross poster though.
ahhh,
Given that, I think if I wanted to go hunting for posts for the community, I would probably cross-post them from my alt as a general rule.
There are pros and cons to this new feature.

thanks. and i see that your auto votes go 95% to author / hive and 5% to you. is that a standard thing or did you set that?
It seems to be the standard. I have no idea if it can be changed, but I hope not since it could easily be abused.
@joshman thanks...I think.
Not sure what I’m supposed to do. Are you inviting me to something?

Thanks. I hit the subscribe button and added it to my favorites. Anything else that is needed?
