The fediverse isn't going to work if top pages consist of the same link 10x reposted. (kbin.social)

Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.

I don't understand this specific complaint.

If you are subscribed to similar communities that exist on different servers/instances, then the likelihood of someone from each community posting the link is pretty high (especially if it is big news). If you are subscribed to 5/5 gaming communities that exist across lemmy, kbin, beehaw, and others, then yes, you are going to see similar content each time. I don't see how this is a problem because it seems to be working as intended.

If you're wanting to be subscribed to each because of the opportunity to engage in the comments with others, then just ignore the repeated content. Coming from Reddit, it was common to see the same post on gaming, pcgaming, & pcmasterrace. There's always going to be overlap.

I understand the complaint, there just isn't enough content in my subscriptions to spend all my time there, and with the fediverse growing every day I spend most of my time here on All TopDay to explore new communities. That being said, people need to recognize this is a growing pain and it will level out. Personally it's given me time to reflect on how much I was using Reddit and helps me put it down instead of doom scrolling constantly, so I don't mind lol.
