Comment on Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience?

Yes. And some people post to multiple communities and you get the same post twice unless your app handles this.

I’d be happy if it was only twice. I see the same posts 3-4 times, regularly. I’ve taken to blocking a lot of instances, but I feel like that destroys the purpose of lemmy.
Idk, maybe reddit will eventually design an app that’s not hot garbage, and I can return there.

You’re right. Especially for news articles I find that annoying. I could understand that if it was some personal project someone is really into. But posting the n-th article on the same topic in world politics in politics, world_politics, europe, … and then also repeating that in a community with the same name, just on a different server is a bit too much in my eyes.
Mmh. I don’t think that’s going to happen. Things like that only get more shitty. Have a look at the other social media platforms. And I think Reddit have revealed their true face, earlier this year. I don’t think I want to go back there. Maybe if I feel opportunistic and leave my ethics aside for a moment. But not full time.
But I don’t think Lemmy will improve on that, soon. There are many more issues to tackle and I haven’t seen big improvements in the last months. I mean I still have bugs open on interface bugs for months now and the developers seem to be busy with other stuff. I don’t think cosmetic changes or bigger usability-improvements will happen fast. I think I can live with that as of now, but I’d love to see Lemmy handle things like this better.
