Hey. This is what you're doing to our front page. Stop it. You only need to post something once. They're all similar communities so chances are, if someone subscribed to one of those communities, they're subscribed to them all.
IMO crossposts are a good thing and should be encouraged. The problem is more that lemmy's simple feed algorithm doesn't do a great job of spreading out similar content, especially since there's so little OC.
This becomes very apparent when a new community comes online and the feed is flooded with literally dozens of posts from the same community. Some improvements to that algorithm, similar to the ones made to surface smaller communities would be a welcome change.
All the green text/4chan subs should just be combined. I hate when I see the same picture like 5 times in a row.
The client should just combine multiple immediate occurrences into one. Give it some sort of "stack of squares" icon to indicate it's a collapsed train of posts across multiple communities. It appears in the feed as one post, but you can click to expand it if you want to go into a comment section
This is no worse than reddit cross posting.
Are you sorting by new? Not the same front page I'm getting, even on Lemmy World.
Possibly, but some lemmy communities do defederate from others. For example, a lemmy.basedcount.com user would be able to see the !greentext@sh.itjust.works post, but not the !greentext@lemmy.ml post because lemmy.ml defederated from lemmy.basedcount.com.
Yes I browse by new.
