No shade to the developer, but based upon how long the last Sync rewrite took, it might not be relevant news for a long, long time.

I think so too but I just found this funny (and a little inconvenient). Also, this still happens from time to time in Reddit too.

I don't think this is a fundamental problem with the fediverse. Reddit has many repeated post in many communities too. I think once the algorithm gets better, this problem will go away (like down ranking repeated link or even linking these post etc).

Lemmy suffer from the same problem, but not as bad as you shown here.

A huge part of the issue is rooted in the lack of other content coming in to bump 'sync' news - compounded by the fact many platforms are streaming "all federated instances" as the main suggested sort - which means that each subcommunity and magazine across all platforms have their own submission of the story and all of those repeats are being delivered to the /m/all frontpage.

I feel ya, but honestly I am also kinda relieved to see people talking about it. I want updates [not forever, but for now] and I also don't want to support Reddit in the meantime.

I also think of it like this:
If someone hands me a microphone and tells me to be funny, I fail. I won't be funny, I doubt I'll even make sense. I would need to prepare. Putting me on the spot is antithetical to the creative process.

I think the most difficult thing about this situation is this - we all know that we need to contribute here to keep it going. But it needs to come naturally. Part of that natural process is all of us talking about the metaphorical shipwreck we were just in. I'm sure it'll pass, but in a sense, the ship is still sinking lol

Anyway, sorry for the stream of consciousness. I agree with you, I wish we'd move on. I bet in 2 months, we will.

Give it a few weeks. It was the same on Mastodon during heights of the #TwitterMigration. Everyone was talking about how they left the ship, what's different about the new place, and keep talking about the sinking ship.

After a while the new place felt familiar and that talk got less, and those meta-conversations were replaced with conversations about other things. If we get to that on Kbin eventually, that'd be great.

It gets a lot better if you switch to your subscribed feed. The Reddit-focused communities are very active, and the posts float high.

I recognize this cycle from the early days of reddit~!

1. Story takes over frontpage.
2. People make posts complaining about the story taking over the front page.
3. Next up: posts complaining about the posts complaining about a story taking over the frontpage.

Lmao.
