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"
This is technically about using Lemmy so breaks rule #3. However, it's a good question and I haven't seen it lately, so putting away the mod hammer.
Post whatever you want wherever you want, but credit the source. This is important not just for courtesy, but for archival purposes. It leaves a trail that makes it easier for others to find the original if they want to see other work by the creator or information about the subject.
If it's just a meme, it's probably not going to matter much, but for original artwork or articles, the author should always be credited when possible, and links make that easier for everyone.
I would take it as a complement if it is something I posted and it is a person just adding to a relevant community. Just don't spam post it to several communities at once or within a short time frame.
Yeah, like the Gurogon call girl
When you post something online, it’s generally assumed that crossposting might happen (unless it’s posted on a site that specifically doesn’t allow crossposting). I would think that if the OP really didn’t want you to crosspost, they’d explicitly say so in their post. If they don’t, it’s on them, not you.
Generally, I’d say crossposting is fine - but be sure to include attribution if it’s a creative work.
News article, discussion, opinion...all fine. I would not crosspost Cosplay or art work. Obv, nudes are a no-go.
As long as you link to the original, go for it
