Comment on Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience?
XbSuper@lemmy.world 9 months agoI’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.
