You can see from the screenshot you posted that it was only posted one other time in this community. And that was by me, posting many hours after this one. So you blaming @Stopthatgirl7@lemmy.world is very unfair.
As for why I posted it, simple: federation problems. I looked and didn't see it already posted, because for whatever reason, on my instance when viewing this community, it didn't appear. Only when someone else posted it and linked to this post on their instance did I ever become aware of it. If you look at this post on my instance you'll note only two comments show up, and that's because they're the comments I forced to show up by manually searching for them using a different instance's URL. (Not sure why, but even when trying to search for it, I can't get your post with the actual screenshot to show up on my instance, hence my reply to this comment instead.)
I'm not blaming any specific person, I'm blaming whoever thought it was a good idea to cross-post this 7 times.
Ok sure, that explains it. I should have thought about that.
Eh personally I don't think there's a problems with cross-posting. They're different communities and different people might subscribe to them.
As for the federation issue, I don't think you should have thought of that. I know I didn't. Apparently it's a long-lived issue with lemmy.world federation. Anyone would have assumed federation issues were resolved a while ago.
