People are desperate for a little bit of visibility, it's crazy.
A few months ago I joined a telegram group with IHers and I was shocked that people were PMing me asking for upvote and comment. Like really, why would you try to gamify IH, It makes no sense.
I must say, sometimes I wish to be able to post the same topic to multiple groups.
Example: this post was best suited for the GumRoad community but it has ~100 members, so it went to another post.
As a subscriber to the newsletter, it would also be valuable to generate increased attention to the posts that share a lot of the communities I am in.
So maybe one could have the capacity to post to 1 of the main communities (+1K followers) and 3 or 4 smaller ones, just as tags work...
I'd definitely say it's spammy and disrespectful towards the community. Seems like a scummy marketing tactic rather than genuinely trying to provide value.
I believe I removed those, can you confirm? If it's more than 2 I usually remove unnecessary ones.
Thanks, I confirm the extra ones are gone.

Yeah, I've noticed that in pretty much all creator venues.

I haven't seen any noticeable different in reach or engagement in posting to Indie Hackers groups with under 1-200 members vs the main feed.

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your original reply then. I was under the impression that you're in favour of these tactics 😄

Yeah, drawing, um, extra attention did come up as a possible reason 😀
