Partnered Communities:
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.
Each instance can have their own rules and mods, I have already encountered power tripping mods on lemmy.world, I can choose other instances with the same threads with different mods.
I don't see the issue, it's not a duplicate post, it's 3 separate posts by the same person into different communities.
I do it, and honestly I wish there was a way to post a "Connect" Post or something that would appear to the three I post to
There is a cross post button. It adds a link under the post when opened to show other communities it has been cross posted to, but it doesn't solve the original problem.
I hate that. I wished there was a way to block terms or hide all previous posts so that you can hide a whole lot of them that you're not interested in reading.
There are a lot of bots still here so I wouldn't be all that surprised.
Conversely I'm having the similar issue of blocking one community but then different communities with the same name and content still appear on my feed as if I never blocked them at all. Like playing whack-a-mole.
You probably have to stick to one of the communities. That's what I do to avoid this kind of issues.
Eh, it's a benefit and a drawback. For those of us that don't use browsers to access lemmy, crossposting is much harder for one thing. Then you've got bots and people that don't even know that crossposting exists at all.
But, the ability to choose which communities you block and thus streamline your feed is too big a benefit to really be infuriating in natural general. Once there's a built in way to migrate block lists, it'll be even less infuriating.
But yeah, you gotta block the bots that don't crosspost correctly, or they're utter spam machines. If users behave as bots, gotta block them too. It sucks, but it's miles better than trying to artificially limit communities.
I don't think this is all that dissimilar from how Reddit was though if you were subscribed to two world news subreddits and two technology subreddits. I think the key is picking out the more popular communities and only subscribing to those. Eventually the goal would be for the less popular communities to fizzle out in favor of bigger communities.
not a necessarily a bot, but also there need to be a feature where duplicate posts need to be hidden. inoreader (rss reader) has this is a premium feature. lemmy apps need to draw inspiration from the rss readers, since content is similar. in fact i used to browse inoreader before using a lemmy client app.
I think it does that if they're cross posted, at least someone else said that, but maybe they need to make that easier on more of the mobile clients.
What about the comments though? I don't think hiding duplicates or merging comments will be easy
It's a UI issue and not really an issue with how Fediverse communities work, if the same link is posted in multiple communities it should ideally show you only one of them in your feed. The user would be able to specify how he wants to discriminate between the same links: most recent one, most active one etc... It shouldn't be difficult to do at the UI level.
its not a UI issue when there are comments from 10 different communities.
Which one? Most upvotes? Highest total score? Most interacted with (e.g. most comments)? The instance you visit the most? Some combination of these?
That could be a user setting, just like you specify how you want to rank the threads in your feed, you could specify also how to discriminate between threads that are sharing the same link: you could say you want the most recent one for example. Again, this could easily be done at the UI level.
