Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates

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 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.

      • Yeah that's what I use, but when I post to Dungeon and Dragon, and TTRPG if someone is part of those they will see two times my post :/ but if Communities linked to a post where like a tag on the post, the same post would be showed In both communities but it would stay the same post, but maybe that's approaching what Mastodon is and not Lemmy

        • Ah I see what you are meaning. I'm not sure if that would always be a good thing, even reddit keeps different comment pages for different communities in cross posts because different communities have different conversations.

          I don't have any better way of solving this problem, other than perhaps having the app or frontend collapse the duplicates into a single item that indicates the different communities it's in and let's you pick which comments to open.
