Hi all, I have a blog and I wanted to start sharing it on lemmy, but I am wondering, should I post the entire content of the blog post when I post it?

For context, my blog is ad-free, so Iā€™m not concerned about missing out on ad revenue.

But my blog posts are longer than average, so it may be quite long to post them here. Moreover, the blog post may have graphics or mermaid diagrams that are not easily copy able. Is it a good practice to share the full text in the lemmy post despite this, or should I only share the URL?

I tend to read comments here, and many times skip the linked content if nothing really draws my attention. Skipping a summary is a missed opportunity if you want me (or others like myself) engaging with the content.
