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.

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