it's not a bug, it's a feature, also, it's not a bug, it's a feature

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Also, a bug it is not - but a feature.

[-] ricdeh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

A bug it is not, a feature it is.

It’s nice for viewing, but it can convolute posting. Which one do I post do? Do I cross post? Not a huge issue but still a bit annoying

IMO that is one of the biggest issues with lemmy. If you make one post then potentially 1/3 of people see it. If you cross post it to all communities then lemmy shitty algorithm likes to put all 3 posts right next to each other and that gets annoying fast. Then if someone makes a comment on community As post, but you only picked Bs post then now you miss out.

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Agreed. I don’t cross post. The community with the most membership or activity gets my posts, unless there’s a good reason to to support another community.

Cross posting to identical communities doesn’t improve the usability of Lemmy.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Yes, and I’ve even cross-posted from one community to another trying to reach more help when I asked a question in the Linux help communities.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 14 points 2 months ago

Yes, except not the first one bc it's on Lemmy.ml.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 6 points 2 months ago

Exactly the same!

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 2 months ago

yep, but identical link posts are grouped on my mbin instance:
.

i kinda love it. i can see which one most users are commenting in, etc.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

When I started on Lemmy after the Reddit exodus, I started by browsing by All, subscribing to communities that looked interesting, and blocking communities that I didn't want to see. I figured I'd eventually move to browsing by Subscribed, but more than a year later and I still browse by All. Removing the communities I didn't want to see, especially the overly prolific meme communities, and blocking the posting bots has made browsing New just fine.

So I guess I see duplicate communities assuming there are posts and I haven't blocked them.

[-] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

"Duplicate"/competing communities is not a unique thing to Lemmy or the fediverse. Reddit had multiple competing communities for the same topic--different management.

Just apply the same rules.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yep.

Looking forward to multi-community support on Lemmy.

It won't fix the issue of comments being everywhere though. Take this post I made on !bitwarden@lemmy.ml. The same link has been crossposted to 7 other communities with many more comments. I wonder if in the future it'll be possible to combine comments from various posts about a single link into a megapost of some sort.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

Yes, but I only post to one at a time.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 5 points 2 months ago

Not all heroes wear capes.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago

I do, though.

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Yes with the exception that I block every single .ml community. When I post I generally choose the most popular one.

[-] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Curious. Why are you blocking .ml?

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

They remove any comments critical of their ideology so I rather not deal with them at all. ML stands for Marxism-Leninism incase you weren't aware.

[-] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

Ah, I see. I happen to be a Marxist Leninist l, but if they censor people as you described then I’m not for that and it actually goes against socialism.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, and highly ironically, they act as teen edgelords and some people get banned precisely for being Marxist Leninists. Notably, the bans are often instance-wide, not just a community, and include being banned from communities that the recipient has never so much as heard of, much less posted problematic content into. Even a single sentence such as "the Tiananmen Square massacre actually happened" seems enough to trigger that. In short, like "conservative" Trump supporters in the USA, their claimed political affiliations are beside the point, and the reality is an echo chamber of misinformation and circle-jerking.

The caveat is that the instance admins also include developers of the Lemmy sourcecode so... Also it is one of the oldest Lemmy instances, predating its spread out to the rest of the world. Hence other instance admins do not want to defederate from it. Upcoming updates to the Lemmy sourcecode are also exclusively posted there (afaict, I mean other than raw GitHub).

Anyway, the people who get incubated inside of that echo chamber then come out into the rest of Lemmy, and many of us do not appreciate that.

The more you know.

[-] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

The more you know. Thanks.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

They tend to actually remove comments for being chauvinist and for some reason that seems to rub certain people the wrong way.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Some of their communities are also insanely aggressive compared to their .world counterparts, both in spirit and moderation. Really best to stay away from them, if at all possible.

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Because they’re tankies.

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 6 points 2 months ago
[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

Yes. I'd really like linux@programming.dev to be the main one but for right now I'm subbed to all 3 I think

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm in a few but as a general rule I try to avoid most of the ml instance communities because some of them can be a bit on the toxic side.

Generally I stick with the ones that are on the same server as my account i.e. !linux@lemmy.world on my lemmy.world account and !linux@programming.dev on my programming.dev account with exceptions to ones where I don't have presence on that instance, or I have limited purpose of having an account there (i.e. my lemmy.blahaj.zone account only serves to moderate the Aroace and Agender communities), in which case I usually choose the one which has been most reliable. Part of the reason I did it this way was because in the early days when Lemmy.world had load issues and was being DDoSed federation would have a lot of issues,

[-] pugsnroses77@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago
[-] Carrolade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yep. There's not really enough content in a lot of single Instance communities, but when you sign up for all of them it gets to a reasonable degree of activity.

[-] rzlatic@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago
[-] Prefeitura@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 2 months ago

Yes and it's annoying. That disperses even further the already small communities

[-] avguser@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Yes, it's kind of amusing you didn't cross-post this, in fact.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

AskLemmy for me. I like occasionally answering questions and there isn't enough posts on either for me.

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

How many times do I have to answer this question!?

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 2 months ago

Until you've answered in every asklemmy community.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Well I was in the two "ask" communities, but then a person in charge, who many are concerned about in regards to motivations, made sure I got both the boot (the "normal" part of the punishment) as well as a taste of unprovoked exposure (wut?)
