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.
I see it as all communities here on aussie.zone belong to all users. Mods are caretakers. So feel free to post or cross post appropriate content to any community.

I mean, it’s respectful to ask before posting original content, but this is just a link to the ABC. If it’s useful to your community, share it!

I’m with Ada. I crossposted this here from a completely different instance’s community and never thought there was any need to get permission.
But if you want it, you absolutely have my permission to post this anywhere.
