Let's try it again: This post from #Mastodon can reach the whole #Fediverse, #Bluesky & more. That's #Sharkey, #Pixelfed (hence the pic), #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hometown, #Akkoma... How far can it go?
Edit: The results are in 
So this is a test post you ask users to repost? And by you, I mean a paid writer for Heise, a commercial business? Looks to me at best as a meaningless test post, at worst an unpaid ad for your employer.
How is this not spam and why should I not remove this from !fediverse@lemmy.world?
PS: Note that merely downvoting is not an argument. Reply with an argument if you think that’s a worthwhile post to a Lemmy community.
Well, the ad for my employer (as an WP-link) came from you, didn't it?
This is not the first such post: I have a tool, that makes it simple to later visualize from where the reactions came.

I think it's quite interesting to compare the promise of the #Fediverse (reach so many different networks) with the reality (it's mainly #Mastodon). And this is a good way, I think. On the other hand, this posts do show, how far your content can go.

You posted from that commercial domain, Wikipedia is non-commercial.
And this is a good way, I think.
That’s a weak argument for why your post isn’t spam. We here at Lemmy did not agree beforehand to participate in your experiment how far your commercial posts reach.
Isn't this directly about the #Fediverse?

Seems like your primary interest is to measure commercial reach and so far you made no argument to the contrary. I’m not against commercial content in the Fediverse. In fact, I’m in favor on giving users the choice what they follow and what they don’t follow but that question hasn’t been asked by you here. You just made your post and all ~30k subscribers here are the lap rats for your experiment.
Mastodon users mindlessly tagging entire Lemmy communities are a common annoyance and if your analytics tool is the same as in the past, it doesn’t even register any interactions from there anyway, making your experiment even more pointless but not really a pity to me that Lemmy is invisible to your advertisers:
Honestly, please tell me more about how I can commercialize this posts. This would make it easier for me to justify all I'm doing here out of interest and goodwill towards #Mastodon etc. Mainly in my freetime, if I may add... (I'm using this account, because this is the one for technical stuff and it has greater reach)
I didn't "mindlessly" tag the Lemmy community, but because I knew, that otherwise it would be very difficult to spread over there.
@mho @woelkchen I don't know much about Lemmy the software but seriously this is the weirdest fediverse conversation I've seen for a while. If @woelkchen had a point, any poll or any question to users with the request to reply or boost would be "using people as lab rats." I don't get it. 
Thank you @mho for your work making the fediverse more attractive to reporters.
