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’s a UI issue and not really an issue with how Fediverse communities work, if the same link is posted in multiple communities it should ideally show you only one of them in your feed. The user would be able to specify how he wants to discriminate between the same links: most recent one, most active one etc… It shouldn’t be difficult to do at the UI level.

      Which one? Most upvotes? Highest total score? Most interacted with (e.g. most comments)? The instance you visit the most? Some combination of these?

        That could be a user setting, just like you specify how you want to rank the threads in your feed, you could specify also how to discriminate between threads that are sharing the same link: you could say you want the most recent one for example. Again, this could easily be done at the UI level.

          This sounds good in theory, but it’s going to be difficult if the communities have different rules. A comment made on the post in Community 1 might be okay IN Community 1 but innappropiate in Community 2 … how would you deal with this if the comment section was merged and appeared in both communties?
