To be fair, there are multiple instances and communities. If there was only one post, there’s no guarantee that everyone on the fediverse would see it.
The system is not designed to provide one consistent view of all its contents.
I think it would help if people used the cross posting feature
Along with posts from multiple agencies driving traffic.
Hey did you guys hear that Trump got shot and Richard Simmons died?
Rings a bell, but if you wouldn't mind posting it to the same community that already has 6 of each, that would be greeeeat.
This is the way I find out richard simmons died??? I thought he was supposed to be super in shape, and healthy?
Biggest tragedy today was Simmons didn't get to know.
Does Scotty know?
I'll ask Fiona but her mouths full.
Oh fine, forget about Dr. Ruth why don't you?
Hey, Richard Simmons died: Show some respect.
Is it really a problem though? Most things on Lemmy are memes scrolling by. When something interesting happens and people post about it in multiple posts, is it really the most important thing to complain about multiple posts?
But if you take time to check if anyone else posted about it, you might waste so much time that you won't be the first to post about it!
Thats a risk I'm willing to let you take.
Is it sad that despite all the posts annoying you, I hadn't yet heard the trump shooting news the first time I saw this thread. I skipped it, and thought "meh".
Now, seeing this post hours later I realize what you were referencing. But I hadn't seen any posts about it when you first posted this.
A cool feature for the fediverse could be some kind of aggregated view and a way for the community to link common topic threads.
I dunno, there is some minor utility in that you can gauge how major an event is, or at least is perceived to be, by how many posts are made about it shortly after happening and how long they continue to appear or persist.
Some of those were hilarious, like the one who didn't know there were shots, so he just said he collapsed then was escorted off the stage, or the "I wish he would Van Gogh away" one
i hate how good filters and content warnings are on mastodon and how terrible they are on lemmy like how?
I'm not into micro blogging, so am unfamiliar with a lot of the intricacies of Mastodon, but that does sound like it would be a good feature to port over here.
Well everybody likes to think they're original.
(I did check the comments before I posted this and am vaguely disappointed that I am.)
Bad take. I bet you're a weirdo who likes megathreads too.
The best part about Fedi is that it's decentralized. If some important event is happening in the world, I don't want to see it sequestered in one or two threads I might miss, I want to see that info blasted across my entire feed.
Especially this kind of Info... I want it blasted all over my ti.... feed.
That's not what they're saying. When Trump got shot last night, c/News had like 15 threads about it. Some of them like 2 hours later. It was ridiculous.
Yeah Man, fuck mega threads.
It needs to be said again: fuck mega threads
And miss my chance at getting a butt-load of upvotes which I can use to...feel good about myself?
No thanks
