You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

I don't mean to mandate the sharing of posts on all sites with mutual tags. I mean to suggest the author of the question to share the question on other StackExchange networks so that he can choose where to share the question so that he can get a relevant answer. In this way we can ensure that the post has greater visibility to the intended audience and also that the post doesn't show up at the wrong network unintentionally. The "Hot questions" panel allows for only the high ranking questions whereas they're not the only ones that need to gain visibility.

@ikartik90 Cross-posting questions verbatim is discouraged across the network. Each site has a specific focus and directly posting the same question wouldn't work well. For example, a C#-tagged question on SO can't be the same as a C#-tagged question on Programmers. Questions that are posted to the wrong site are already migrated to better places as well.

but doesn't that hide your problem out from the problem solver to an extent? Maybe someone out there knows the solution to your problem, but he might not even have seen your question.

@ikartik90 And maybe someone knows the solution and doesn't use any SE sites at all. There are no guarantees here. The answerers should be able to choose which sites and tags to follow.
