Pick a lane, or give it some time.
Same with one user making 10 posts at a time to same community.
I block that lem.
No, because I follow multiple similar communities on different instances, and people crosspost to all of them at once, as they should, by design
This is the second time I’ve seen this post…
I block them even quicker if their account is a week old or less
You probably already have me blocked, but rapid cross posts get collapsed in the new feed or when they’re otherwise both on the same page. I’ll post the same thing to several relevant comms on different instances at once because I care less about those instances, but still want to put relevant content there. I don’t tend to xpost to multiple relevant comms on the same instance.
The funny thing is, there was a similar post a day ago in a different server with the same community. And no it’s not annoying because this gives to those posts bigger reach. Just scroll past them, no need for blocks, it’s not that serious.
I post all my posts for the day in a block, so you’ll see me post 3-6 things and be done. It’s just easier for me. I post mainly educational content, so getting the posts out of the way all at once lets me just pop in during my breaks in the day to answer questions.
I don’t think I’m annoying, and if anything, if you don’t like my content, it keeps it in a relatively small range of your feed instead of it popping up multiple times. I figure I will annoy someone no matter what method I do it, so that’s what I’m going to stick with. After 3 years of doing it, you’ve either blocked me or you’re fine with it. 😁
Nah we good. I like your content. Owls and other avians are gtg in my book. Big dinosaur fan.
I don’t do it to everyone but there’s a number of folks I’ve just been like, no sir I don’t like it.
Yay! I’m an exception!
I try to avoid being preachy or political, so I think that helps my case, even for those not much interested in animals, as crazy as that may be.
It would be nice if the cross posts got hidden, I wonder if any clients do that. It’s one of my favourite feature in Tusky to hide multiple boosts in your feed.
Cross-posting actually does get hidden to some extent, but I don’t know how it works. The feature was added a year or more ago, I think.
Oh, interesting. I haven’t made that work then. So far I keep seeing cross posts. Somtimes literally one after another.
Yeah, however it works, it clearly could be improved upon.
Isn’t that something piefed does?
Possibly, I don’t use Piefed.
I haven’t ran into this problem too much here. I would do this daily back when I was using Reddit
Yeah, I do the same thing. The third time I see the thumbnail user gets blocked.
Same, I understand why they do it, but I hate scrolling through and seeing the same thing over and over again. My blocklist is pretty long.
You do you. For me, I’d rather support the platform in any way possible, including dealing with annoying cross posts. I’d rather the most possible people see it than my own comfort.
What I would really love to see is if the lemmy gui / apps would just collate reposts in the feed you’re viewing.
