Crossposting etiquette when you're not the OP (lemm.ee)

I occasionally come across content in my feed that I think would be of interest to one of the small communities that I participate in. Think photo or article, not something personal. Is it appropriate for me to crosspost the content? Without asking the OP? What about if I ask but the OP never responds?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Just crosspost it. The points don't matter here. The only time I'd hesitate and ask is if it was very clearly OC.

I think even if it's OC, it's fine if you very clearly credit it.

No creative is gonna get angry at someone going "hey check out this cool content I found by this person"
