Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates

There were also 2 more below that.

And this must be a bot, endless posts by this user, every time the same content on multiple communities.

unless communities and users become agnostic to instances, this problem will never be solvable. also defederation makes this virtually impossible.

It shouldn't be that difficult to give mods or administration the ability to name communities that "super federate" and appear as local to all instances. That or make Instances more agnostic.

a simple flaw in this design is that users on lemmy.world and users on beehaw.org are not federated, so how do we resolve that issue for a community that is on .ml, .world, beehaw, and nsfw, beehaw would have to support content from world, who they are currently defederated with, or their users would just not see content from world users. the whole premise of defederation is ironically antithetical to the premise of federation. by making a larger group of distributed users, the system could work great. but the admins are taking their personal issues to each other causing fractures that make adoption for newer users and more laymen basically impossible. that whole "it doesn't matter what instance you use" is complete BS at this point since half of the top 5 instances are defederated frome at least 1 other.

That’s a Whole lot of words to say I want a Reddit clone.

Go fix Reddit instead of making this something it’s not.
