Would be a fun statistic to see the percentage of people that’ve already seen it.
But the data needs to be correlated! For example, how many people know it’s a repost but upvote it anyway because it’s a classic?
When the same guy makes the same post to 10 different instances I wish lemmy would group them together or somehow amalgamate the 10 disparate conversations together. Lemmy is several orders of magnitude more reposty than reddit which is saying a lot.

I’ve been waiting on my email for a few weeks…
For blahaj? I never got one as well, just try out if your account is activated.
Yeah because we (Lemmy) are about 5 people
I look at people’s post history and if they’re serial crossposters I block them. So lemmy is pretty much just you and me.
What’s old to you is new to someone else though. I try to not get too bothered by this.
Let’s call it “Terminally Online”. You realize this post subject is a repost, right OP? SHAME!
It’s usually what I use the downvote button for. Especially if I’ve seen it recently.
…why do you need to announce it?..
Downvotes aren’t even a thing on my instance. We only have the upvote button. I like it that way tbh :)
I wonder if Lemmy had emoji reactions, if there’d end up being an emoji code that sorta meant this

Perfect. Nobody uses that one for anything.

Reposts are like cover songs. They keep the original alive.
…general riposte!..
