Personally, I think it's fine for people to cross-post stuff they think is relevant to the communities here. I'd prefer it over links to Reddit, because it lets people engage with the content here. I doubt posts in !newzealand@lemmit.online will get nearly as much attention as the ones on lemmy.nz. The Lemmit bot makes it pretty obvious that it's taken from Reddit. I think one guideline would be not to remove the bot's text from the post, nor the "cross-posted from" text that's generated when it's cross-posted here.

As for question posts, it would be a weird thing to cross-post. I guess if someone wanted to give credit to the OP on Reddit. I can't see that happening too often, unless it's a pretty broad question that generates discussion - in which case, it doesn't seem to matter to me if there's a separate discussion going on here.

This is @Dave's comment from the daily kōrero:

Do we need guidelines about using it? Like sure you can subscribe, but what about cross posting to !newzealand?

Cross posts ok? Guidelines on not cross posting questions just links (articles etc) because the questions don’t come with the answers? Any thoughts?

I just went and watched it. Would not recommend. Dolphin gang rape is not pleasant. I was laughing before, but I 100% agree with the BSA - not "G".

If you've got the same disturbing curiosity as me though, it's the last segment of this episode, starting at about 38:40.

OK, cool. What does the little download button that shows up when you zoom in do?

Good catch. I guess it shows NZ unis are doing a good job with sustainability at least.

Thanks for making and sharing this. I know I'll use it. I keep discovering features. I'm glad you've got the Basemaps imagery on there.

In terms of offline use, does it keep low-res tiles of the whole country for offline use, with the option to download individual tiles when you're zoomed in? That's how it seems to work.
