Crossposting etiquette when you're not the OP (lemm.ee)

I occasionally come across content in my feed that I think would be of interest to one of the small communities that I participate in. Think photo or article, not something personal. Is it appropriate for me to crosspost the content? Without asking the OP? What about if I ask but the OP never responds?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

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.
