Comment on Lemmy posts redundant
victorz@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Could you give an example of the issue? I don’t understand what the problem entails.
So maybe 1/3rd of posts are like…
X headline summary.
Then in box. A longer summary. X headline longer headline.
Then below the box, a full description of X.
Just seems very redundant. After seeing this sooo much, was wondering if it’s a setting, or perhaps a design flaw?
It’s probably just people copying the articles to other relevant/duplicate communities. Since each instance can make its own communities, you’ll sometimes see the same one made for .world, lemm.ee, etc. I.e. there are now two Star Trek meme communities, Risa and Ten Forward, on different instances.
I haven’t made a post on Lemmy yet so I don’t know what the form you fill in looks like. Sounds like a design flaw at first glance, to me. I have noticed the same odd thing though, indeed.

It might be that OP is referring to Mastodon posts appearing in Lemmy?
