Hi everyone!

I’m really enjoying the Fediverse through Lemmy and Peertube.

One creator I enjoy and follow on the Fediverse is Gardiner Bryant as his content is really enjoyable.

Sadly he ´s the target of my post as he shares his content on many different communities that I follow.

Today I had 5 times the same topic on RetroDeck (great project too) on my feed on Lemmy (Voyager).

It is the same on PieFed (Interstellar).

This is really annoying and I haven’t found a way to not show these duplicates. Do you know about one or is it worked on?

Also when crossposting, it would be great if everything appeared under on post. Is it feasible?

Sorry if it’s easy and I just missed it. In a way I hope it is because it would mean that the Fediverse is festure rich😇

    It is okay to miss out on something. If nobody crossposts it, it probably wasn’t that interesting anyways.

    If you are afraid that you are missing out on some content, then look at the crossposts in your followed communities. Maybe the communities that were the origin of the crossposts are interesting, and worth joining? Then you’ll also see all their posts in the future.

    If you want to see all posts that could remotely be relevant to you, you ultimately will have to follow all possibly relevant communities anyways. Because most users post their things simply to one community and call it done. And that’s ok and good, and does not need changing.

      I could completely reverse your argument, insisting on why you should do differently.

      It’s completely subjective.

        You want to argue that people should post their posts to more communities?

        And why do you want to insult me?

          PS: “insulting” was a phone typo, sorry! 🙏 makes no sense :) I meant “insisting” or “arguing”.

          I’m not insulting anyone (edit: that was because of a typo, see other reply). I don’t want to argue. I’m simply saying that the position or preference is subjective: neither I or you can make an objective argument of why someone ought or oughtn’t to cross-post.

          The simple proof is that you’re unhappy about cross-postings – and surely I have no right to say that you should be happy about them instead. And at the same time I am happy about cross-postings – and you have no right to say that I should be unhappy about them instead.
