Comment on Are you annoyed by lemmy crossposts?

Yes. It’s annoying. I wish all the posts from the same person were in one thread so there weren’t 12 conversations happening in 12 different rooms.
When I see 5 posts in a row by the same person I look at their history and if they do that on the regular without making comments I block them.

theoretically a programmer could filter the duplicates out automatically … but I think this “repost problem” is not a top priority, the lemmy UI developers dont have much freetime at their hands to implement this.

The Tesseract web app does that. It stacks posts in the feed that have the same url or title.

The seemingly endless scroll of reposts is absolutely one of the factors preventing the casual passerby from sticking around lemmy. They won’t notice it’s posted to different instances, it just looks like a glitch.
