Does this work for link shares as well? There’s multiple android and gaming instances that often have duplicate content shared.

Yeah but I’d see one, scroll a little further and see another. Then scroll a little further and see another. Sure you might see some repeated posts on Reddit, but the problem is exacerbated if there are multiple instances of the same topic.

For example, if I saw the same post on /r/Google and /r/Android. The problem could be four times or more worse due to there being multiple instances of Google and Android federated.

I’m enjoying Lemmy, but it’ll be interesting to see how this might be dealt with for those that want a single feed per topic.

I’m with you. I’m already seeing duplicate posts/links shared across instances. Trying to work out how managing subscriptions will look as the platform grows.

But they’re the same topic, so there’s a good chance there’s gonna be repeated content across both. Particularly if not everyone is subscribed to all instances.

I’m subscribing to both, but will be interesting to see how duplicate content across instances are federated in the future.
