Should I repost / cross publish on several communities and how ? (lemmy.ml)

I can see that if I create several posts with the same link, they are matched as such. The other posts are linked in the «cross published» section at the top (on lemmy-ui).

If a post is relevant to two different communities (example: a climate-dedicated community and a more general news commyunity), should I post it in each ?

If so, how to ease the process without having to separately copy / paste all parts of the post ?

Generally speaking I don't mind when the same article pops up three times in a row, in related communities. When it gets to 4+ it starts to look a little excessive to me.
