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.

It did, but it wasn’t as bad as this. My hope is that as Lemmy matures, this will happen less.
It got lost on the noise of reddit. There’s no way lemmy has more bots, let alone a higher ratio to users.
And it’s entirely up to your instance, the instance I am in has strict bot rules that other instances bots must follow.
wtf do the bots have to do with this? the issue is that multiple communities are all talking about the same article in many different places when they should be all talking about it in 1.
Absolutely not, the benefit of each community having its own vibe is exactly that.
Think of it it like this, one community is for Germans and one is for the French. They can talk about the same thing, but they will Absolutely go about it differently, and that’s fine. Pick which one you want to help/join, or hit up both.
Were not talking about language barriers, were talking about people building arbitrary walls where none are needed. There is 0 reson that there are over a dozen “technology” communities. If there was simply 1 community to focus on these topics the whole place would function much more smoothly. The core problems with Lemmy is that all of the communities are fragmented and spread out, by force of the admins too. This means small communities will never get populated unless a massive monolithic instance comes about to dwarf the rest. Right now, the largest video game communities on the internet don’t get even a post a day. The only things that get traction here are politics, tech, and memes, because they are the most universal topics that can be minimally sustained on any online platform. Until the users and admins of Lemmy realize they need to agnosticize content, communities, and users from instances, this place will crumble under its fundamental framework. We need to be like email, and let the users build their spaces, not the few who decide to host the servers.
Who said anything about language barriers? It’s dialects and interests, they just do things differently, and if they are in the same place (like Reddit) you get circle jerks and other BS for no reason. Just like people don’t “shoot the shit” with work colleagues like gaming buddies, things are just different and that’s not always a bad thing. If I want to have a gaming type discussion I would join the gaming technology community, if I wanted an in-depth conversation, I may have to join educated technology.
Lemmy removes this, if you want this to be a Reddit clone, you came to the wrong place, you clearly don’t understand the intent of this place.
Again, no issue with lemmy, you came in here wanting and expecting something else. If that’s the case, this place isn’t for you and move on instead of trying to make it something it has no intention of being (Reddit)
you did.
Please point out where for the rest of us?
I was talking about countries, A they have far more differences than just “language barriers”, which I never specified or even implied, B it’s a euphemism that I’ve since explained a different way, which you’re ignoring.
If your intent here is to just troll, move along that can stay with Reddit to.
your whole example is centered around 2 groups inability to communicate with each other. its the worst possible example of people who are fully capable of communicating simply electing not to because it makes them feel better. witch isn’t what’s happening here.
Hello you two. Just wanted to say you both make very compelling arguments. I get the feeling that there’s a possibility that you’re misunderstanding each other

The only way it happens less is if lemmy actually does something to merge communities or treat cross posts as a single post.
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.
It won’t.
