Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates
There were also 2 more below that.
And this must be a bot, endless posts by this user, every time the same content on multiple communities.
You're viewing a single thread.

But I have to say that's a plus. I'm on Lemmy.ca and beehaw.org is federated with my instance so I can interact with their communities. I have noticed that discussions on technology@beehaw.org are different from those on technology@lemmy.world. I think that's the beauty of Fediverse.
It's like being in a technology club in France and then visiting the technology club in Germany. They may look like the same clubs on the surface, but then you realize that these clubs have different interests and the discussions are different because the worldviews of the two clubs are different.
That's true for some communities, but for instance !technology@lemmy.world and !technology@lemmy.ml are pretty similar, and tend to have the same content posted by bots.
I can understand why this can be annoying.
Absolutely! While communities might share a name across multiple instances, the content and discussions can be quite different.
The solution is crossposting. If the threads on OP are all by the same user, then they should be crossposting, and mods should be warning them to do so.
It needs to be enabled on more mobile apps then.
I kinda like things this way. The idea is that instance A will have their own users talking about news article Z while instance B will also be talking about it, each with their own perspectives.
Right now it feels like all the discussions are the same because Lemmy and Kbin haven't had time to evolve and differentiate themselves much just yet. As far as I can tell there's two types of early adopters populating this ecosystem: Left-leaning tech folks and right-leaning trolls testing the waters to see how much attention they can get. That might just be the communities I subscribed to though 🤷
and that isn't how any platform works. this deliberate fragmentation will continue to kill lemmy's potential and means any small coms will never get populated.
Who says the have to? Why are you wanting this to be like Reddit, even on Reddit there’s lots of thriving communities (subreddits) with under 500 users.
It’s what people make of it, and clearly this place isn’t for you, so move on.
Hell you even used a fucking Reddit trope as your username… shows what you expect here lmfao.
why is being like reddit a bad thing? it's the best link aggregator on the internet. until new released the site was great. imagine not wanting a link aggregator like reddit before they made their own app and doomed the UX to modernized oblivion.
Hahahahahahahahahah
In case we weren’t clear enough here
Hahahahahah
Reddit sucks, hence why it’s crashing and burning dude lmfao, why don’t you go and try and fix that, instead of making something that’s awesome worse so it can also die the same way?
And in case we weren’t clear enough here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you’re clown.
reddit is dying because of the company, no other reason. acting like this place is some how better when the largest of nitch subs barely get 2 posts a week is simply ignorant.
It’s just not your cup of tea, and that’s fine, the door is over there.
You don’t go to a techno club demanding they become a dance club because all clubs have to be the same do you? How’s this any different…?
Club is the community and techno and dance are the instances, they have stuff in common as well as being different.
The only ignorance here is you wanting this to be something it has zero intention of ever being. This isn’t Reddit, nor does it want to be be. How is this so hard for you to comprehend…?
yeah. i don't like link aggregators that fracture communities and post 12 different copies of the same link to the front page. that's my problem, not the sites.
Than the door is over there, this is a different type of link aggregator…
How is this so hard for you comprehend mate?
It’s not fracturing communities, you’re free to join multiple, it’s only an issue because you want it to be. And just don’t view the “front page”…? Join the communities with the content you want. There’s no curated content here, the front page is just what it is. Again, not Reddit, doors there.
That would require an inter-instance mod cooperation. Not impossible, but between some instances it seems like the Iron Curtain.
