lemmy is a mess since the same community can be found on a different server. same news have 2 comments, but 62 on the other. this thing is just gonna stay as an underground social media until someone solves this.
This has also been a thing on Reddit since subreddits were introduced so I don’t really think it’s a major obstacle to user retention compared to the amount (or lack) of quality original content and discourse
I am wondering if this is presented better in different UIs. I’m regularly using the Summit Android app and there’s at least a button to see cross-posted communities with a comment counter to see if there’s more action traction somewhere else. It might be nice if it had some indicator that there’s a more active thread than the one I am currently on. I am not sure how other front ends handle it.
Or maybe the issue is dual posted content that isn’t cross-linked because it was submitted independently. Not sure of a solution to that that isn’t a lot of work.
We make a lot of effort to consolidate communities by closing on one instance, and opening it on another.
But sometimes multiple communities for the same topic make sense depending on different local moderation methods and instance rules.
