    You have some good posts, but I’m sick of seeing multiple of the same post as I scroll through All. Please stop.

      …no. 😀

      Just because you follow multiple magazines/communities does not mean everyone does. Just a few days ago I saw someone tell another person the exact same thing, to not post in multiple places, and I, along with other people, pointed out how we’d only seen it one time, because we didn’t follow all the same communities/magazines. That’s why people post to more than one place, and why I will continue to do so.

      Might wanna google how federated services work and think about what having different servers with similar user bases might mean for duplication. This is a patently absurd request to make on a service like this.

        I would expect it to mean that there is different content in the communities because they are different in nuanced ways. Having people who consistently, intentionally post duplicate content to these communities dilutes those differences, turning them all into copies of each other.

        Tabe it to the extreme: If every instance had a /c/technology that had all of the exact same posts on them, what is the point? That’s why I think this behavior should be discouraged.

          Then you risk the same thing you risk on big unified sites. What if I want to talk about Star Trek but break an arbitrary rule on startrek.website? Should I just be banned from discussing Star Trek on all other instances? The entire reason for federation is that each instance can abide by its own rules and norms while also sharing content. If you want a unified service, post on a unified service.
