Reach out to LillianVS for inclusion on the sidebar.
All communities included on the sidebar are to be made in compliance with the instance rules.
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.
I think "World News" and "Technology" are not quite similar communities. It's up to the mods of each community to decide whether the content posted is appropriate to that community. One could argue, that an article about Threads is not exactly "World News" though. Also I think that the different variants of e.g. Technology will have a "flavor" of the instance that it's hosted on. You then get the option to subscribe only to the flavors you like, or if you subscribe to all, then there's bound to be some duplicates. Maybe some future feature could combine them - it would need to be clear which comment threads are from which instance though.
personally I'm more annoyed that there are several "Technology" communities and several "World News" communities, rather than World News and Technology sharing a similar topic.
Just pick one. They mostly have the same content anyway. I know ideally they should be different (for instance, Beehaw communities are more heavily moderated), but for Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml the difference is so small it's not worth the hassle.
tell that to everyone else. shit like this will make all even more useless than it already is.
Crossposting already exists. That way you have one "main post" and a couple of openly linked crossposts in other communities that redirect to the main post, which makes it easy to filter out "duplicates" as the posts are already bundled in a way. There is no reason to make the same "main post" multiple times.
...and if you meant to combine the comment sections across all communities and instances into a single big comment cluster linked to the main post, then please keep in mind that different communities have different rules. A comment made from a user in Community 1 might be appropiate in Community 1 but inappropiate in Community 2 where the post also appears. How would you moderate this if all comments appeared in both Community 1 and 2 at the same time?
I actually thought of it more as a purely visual combine. So each post still lives in its own instance, and visually you just see them together. Comment threads would live on different instances and the instance mods just mods the community that they own. So it’s a purely Frontend thing.
I understand that, but the "dubious" comment would still appear in the comment thread on both instances then, and that can turn into a problem. How do you deal with it?
Just to make an example: I moderate a community about Breath of the Wild, where content about the sequel Tears of the Kingdom are discouraged so that people who don't own that game yet won't have to worry about spoilers. There are also communities about both games, or even just the sequel, where "spoilers" simply aren't an issue. Now imagine someone makes a post that appears in both communities, and the comment section contains content related to the sequel. How would you deal with it?
Remove the comments about the sequel because the BotW community doesn't allow spoilers? That's a surefire way to piss off anyone subscribed to the TotK community, because they were simply discussing content they're subscribed to and won't understand what they did wrong or why their comments keep disappearing.
Let the comments stay because the TotK community allows them? That's a surefire way to piss off people subscribed to the BotW sub, as they were promised a spoiler-free browsing experience and now read about stuff they didnt want to read about. You cannot un-see spoilers, so "just deal with it" isn't an option.
Make it so that those comments are only displayed in the TotK community but not in the BotW community? That's what we have right now - separate comment sections for each community. If you merge the comment sections and then retroactively have to sort out which comments are or are not displayed in the other sub, it will be an unneccessary extra workload for the mods as you can barely automate such a thing. And you would have to check every comment again as soon as someone makes a crosspost to a third, fourth, fifth community, as this would add extra rules that would make comments that were formerly comepletely fine suddenly not okay anymore.
Now this is an example where the issue are "just" gameplay spoilers, so it's not exactly the end of the world. But once this happens to communities with different rulesets about politics, religion, NSFW content, things that are illegal in one country but not the other, and similar highly explosive topics, it will turn into a moderation nightmare to keep the comment section fair for everyone.
The main post would be shared but then in the comment section you can swipe left or right to scroll through the different instances (comment section). Most comment sections don't have such unique requirements anyways, usually on Reddit I just assume "don't be an asshole" and on the few occasions where that is not sufficient, I get deleted and the mod notifies me of the error, then I learn. Generally people won't familiarize themselves with the community rules before posting.
