The general consensus advises against posting the same question across multiple channels. It's often seen as bad etiquette, wastes time for potential responders, and can be perceived as spammy. Cross-posting may be acceptable if relevant to each community, with proper disclosure and links. It's better to post once and wait for answers. Adding more information to a slow post is preferred over deleting and reposting. Multiple copies are only appropriate when posting to distinct, non-overlapping groups. Always search existing resources before posting, and clearly state your problem.
