One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.

However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary 'Reddit'-needs.

Piefed is a Lemmy "competitor" that actually does some sort of "multi comm" combined view type of functionality

Piefed.social

It's not mature yet, but last I heard interoperability was mostly ok, though had oddities

It helps to see communities as categories for an instance, each instance will have a different response to the same post based on the general instance vibe and culture. That's also why picking a good instance to browse locally can be pretty useful.

I like that view, and it made me think of a possible "implementation"/"fix" as well:

Combine the post somehow (Based on attachment/title/something else?)
Filter/categorize the comments by instance that the comment was originally posted towards (Not by user, as that would be awful)

The largest issue here that I can see, how do we treat "new" comments to a post?

My annoyance is primarily with the fact that I see the same image 3x in a row, on a fairly regular basis. I might unsub from a few communities that share the same content.

There are many different workarounds, I personally don't put much stock into sorting by "all" generally, sorting locally tends to be a better experience and has less repetition.

Sounds like a good solution for people who are on larger instances, my instance does not host any communities sadly.

You can pseudo-curate by only subscribing to your most prefered instance of comm, but you won't be able to see instances with allow-lists as the basis, rather than block-lists.

What constitutes an active user? Is a new lurker like myself counted or is there a threshold of minimum action needed to be counted?

I will shitpost harder.

I'm doing my part!

I am ready to give up Reddit, we need more communities to move here!

Yesterday was the first day that Lemmy activity tipped over the threshold, and there were too many overnight posts for me to read all of them over breakfast.

End of an era 🥲

Although usually the tide rolls back down for a while with one of these Septembers, as some newbies just don't click with their instance for whatever reasons. Still, it seems inevitable that it will tip over that threshold, and stay there, one day.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I had to switch instances 3 times before I found one I was okay with.

That's about how it went for me. This is pretty much my home instance, but I also keep an account on a more local lemmy for chatting with the townies.

Also experimenting with my own instance. Still workin out the kinks.
