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.

    Here’s my idea:

    It’s a middle ground between completely hiding the duplicates, and letting them as is. Once you click that plus button, it shows the duplicates as full posts, otherwise it leaves them as just one-liners.

      There is discussion on going at !news@lemmy.world currently about new rules. Users posting the same story from the same source will be blocked by an automod. I asked about users posting the same story from different sources, and apparently that’s absolutely fine. So expect this problem to get a lot worse before steps have to be taken to make it better :/

        The issue is that this sort of rule only works against duplicates inside a community; it does nothing against duplicates across communities, that users may or may not be subscribed to. As such I think that the solution should be on the interface level.

        On another, related matter: you replied twice. I think that the server itself should prevent it, as 99% of the time it’s by accident.

        I don’t have a github account, but feel free to share this idea with the devs of the interfaces that you guys use.

      I like this one. It conveys all of the pertinent cross posting info in a succinct manner.
