    Spamming the same thing on semi related communities is a great way to get downvoted to hell.

      I only see it posted on 3 communities, isn’t that how the Lemmy cross posting feature is supposed to work? What if someone is unaware of 1 or 2 of these communities, or their instance is defederated from 1 of them?

      Lemmy has post deduplication. Are you using an app that doesn’t support this? I haven’t seen crossposts spamming my feed before, usually it’s a pretty good feature, something that Reddit doesn’t have.

      In fact, Lemmy’s post deduplication is a little TOO aggressive https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2104

      But this is literally how federation works. Not everybody subscribes every single Linux community.

        Well then those people must be made to understand our peaceful ways… by force!
