  It did, but it wasn’t as bad as this. My hope is that as Lemmy matures, this will happen less.

    It got lost on the noise of reddit.

    And it’s entirely up to your instance, the instance I am in has strict bot rules that other instances bots must follow.

      wtf do the bots have to do with this? the issue is that multiple communities are all talking about the same article in many different places when they should be all talking about it in 1.

        Absolutely not, the benefit of each community having its own vibe is exactly that.

        Think of it it like this, one community is for Germans and one is for the French. They can talk about the same thing, but they will Absolutely go about it differently, and that’s fine. Pick which one you want to help/join, or hit up both.

    The only way it happens less is if lemmy actually does something to merge communities or treat cross posts as a single post.

      unless communitie and users become agnostic to instances

        It shouldn’t be that difficult to give mods or administration the ability to name communities that “super federate” and appear as local to all instances. That or make Instances more agnostic.
