probably my biggest gripe with Lemmy right now. Feels like I'm just stuck in a loop.

Great app that lets me participate in the forced WhatsApp groups without having meta garbage on my phone! Love it.

I only subscribe to the usually most popular community in a subject I’m interested in for this reason

It’s stopping people from subbing to different communities which is probably a bad thing.

Probably, but until a solution is found it only mâles lemmy a mess and imo that’s worse

Top 6 hours or top 12 hours seems to have a better range of options. Try those.

Polar OP , 10 months ago

This is top 6 hours

Agreed, this issue really kills the fun of browsing.

There was talk about the ability to link communities in the future, so that dupes show up as merged. No idea what happened of that.

There is no point to linking communities- if they are going to have identical content, just pick one or the other.

A better option would be for cross posts (using the Lemmy cross post feature) to exist as a single entity that is visible in multiple communities. This would allow for some differences in moderation which is the justifiable reason for multiple communities on the same topic in the first place.
