I don’t like it, but imho it’s a reflection of an architectural flaw of Lemmy.
The fediverse should have distributed channels. …but “distributed” doesn’t need to mean, every channel sits on an isolated instance/island and the only way to share a message between instances/islands - is to duplicate content.
A better solution would be that channels would be globally unique (ie there would be just one “til” channel). People would subscribe to it, and each instance would be the “custodian” or keeper of their users comments and posts. The “custodians” could/would moderate their users posts and could “defederate” from other instances (if they don’t like how others are moderating their users).
This would avoid situations where one channel gains popularity, but the instance closes shop and the fediverse is left scrambling to fill in the gaps.
Doesn’t bother me at all. Lemmy is so fractured it’s kind of necessary.
I concur. There are a lot of diaper babies on the fedi 🍼
I browse all, so it annoys me but I also realize that’s what I set myself up for.
When it really annoys me I block the less popular community or the one who keeps annoying me.
But the ones that really really annoy me are the people who join and then make a community “Just for their thoughts, ideas, and links.”
Get a fucking diary. (Again, this is still a me problem, it’s just what annoys me.)
Do those individuals’ diary communities actually show up in all? They sound kind of interesting. Kind of like an analogue to how on Reddit you could post to your own username which nobody did.
That’s how I find them, so yeah.
And it might be kind of interesting until you do the math and realize that each instance pays the price of storing your thoughts.
Yeah personally if I did that I would set up my own Lemmy instance. Make it a blog type thing. But that might be too complicated for most people.
I use piefed (and/or my own custom lemmy app), so dupes and comments show up as merged so there’s no issue. When I post, I often try to pick a big instance (for engagement) and a small, relevant instance (to promote local)
I just ignore any repeated content and refuse to interact with it as a rule. A mild annoyance for me, but if there are too many repeated communities in my feed. I often choose one or two that will be blocked to reduce redundancy if it becomes a real problem for me.
I feel that this Lemmy thing isn’t really working like I want it to.
I believe piefed merges them. I don’t spend a lot of time there so someone else might need to weigh in
Idc
It doesn’t bother me at all, I can read more comments about what people think about the topic if it interests me. Now if i notice it’s an account that does it often for nonsense I can just block it.
People who do it all the time get blocked. Once in a while if fine.
I posted this is 3 other subs but decided I’d probably block me, too, so I deleted the other ones.
I would definitely try to limit yourself to two posts. Lots of people browse by “all” and you may get blocked by people that start to get annoyed with dupes.
For me 2 is fine, 3 is still tolerable, but above that is where I start thinking about options.
But even then, if it’s a one time thing, it’s easier to just keep scrolling than do anything about…
I browse Local; not All so it doesn’t bother me at all, but cross posting across multiple communities on an instance does start to bug me eventually if it’s too pervasive and constant.
I’m mostly subscribed across instances, but I am in a few general question subs which often get repeated posts. Probably should drop the .ml ask.
It’s the same issue with pretty much any interesting post in the fediverse. As I’m subscribed to a lot of different communities across different instances, I see the same thing over and over.
I imagine/fervently hope we’ll sort it out eventually.
In both my mobile app (Mlem) and on piefed, there is a crosspost function, so I don’t mind when people use that because it collapses all of the multiple posts into a single post. It gets annoying when I see the same post over and over and over in my feed
If it’s the same person, whatever.
If it’s whatserface cm#### reposting someone else’s post, annoying.
Ahhh sheet cm0002 is a GOAT. That dude is awsome… He is one of my favorite posters. He has multiple accounts and he is a really good programmer too. He loves china more than me but just because we differ I don’t need to poop my pants. He doesn’t post other peoples content like you think but he is a trailblazer
It is annoying

You right, autocorrect
