Methinks this will pass, or at least get better. Some degree of community centralization will happen. I don't think (and also don't want) complete centralization to happen, but I expect a we'll reach a fairly agreeable middle-ground. Lemmy and the fediverse have been around for a bit, but this is still early days.

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.

Yup. There needs to be some de-duplication code, somehow.
