Australia's first public tool library opens in Brisbane and instead of books and magazines, library members borrow power tools, lawnmowers and whipper snippers.
The other side of that coin is that if someone likes something I post, I don’t want to have to federate and join multiple communities I’ve never heard of to share it there as well. I’m not the OP, but I’d much rather someone who is already a member do that part for me :)

That’s exactly how I feel, too. I’d rather not post something to a community that I don’t frequent most of the time, because I don’t want to intrude. I don’t garden—I swear I have a magenta thumb—so I don’t know anything about what they would enjoy. So I’m not gonna post stuff in there.
But I would never object to someone taking something I’ve posted publicly (whether it’s my own OC or me posting a reputable news source or anything in between) and posting it in good faith to another community that they think would like it.
Read my other comment. I don’t think permission should be asked or required from external instances. Zagorath was cross posting inside of aussie.zone, they may have been unaware of the new community creation.
I’m happy to do it but everyone, in these early days, should be thinking about where they are posting to create the local content that is desperately needed. Reddit wasn’t built in a day.
