Hi everyone!
I’m really enjoying the Fediverse through Lemmy and Peertube.
Two creators I enjoy and follow on the Fediverse are Dash and Gardiner Bryant (both work on The Bryant Review) as their content is really enjoyable.
Sadly they are the target of my post as they shares their content on many different communities that I follow.
Today I had 5 times the same topic on RetroDeck (great project too) on my feed on Lemmy (Voyager).
It is the same on PieFed (Interstellar).
This is really annoying and I haven’t found a way to not show these duplicates. Do you know about one or is it worked on?
Also when crossposting, it would be great if everything appeared under on post. Is it feasible?
Sorry if it’s easy and I just missed it. In a way I hope it is because it would mean that the Fediverse is festure rich😇
Edit: Added Dash as she was in fact the one who published the article. Also it appears that the issue is only on mobile apps since both the browser of Lemmy and PieFed don't have it.
Edit 2: Using the Progressive Web App of PieFed seems to have solved the issue for me
You're not alone in this wish, though I'm sure that doesn't surprise you. I sort of accepted it as just part of how a federated reddit-style forum would work, but if there's a way to address it, that would be very cool.
Piefed addreses that, as you can see in the other comments.
http://piefed.blahaj.zone/ is run by the same team as your current instance.
I think they'd like posts merged not just comments.
Piefed merges posts (and has an indicator with the number of crossposts , on the same level as the comments counter see https://piefed.zip/c/privacy@programming.dev ) in the feed view.
I might have to switch to Piefed from mbin. Both are far better than Lemmy imo, but piefed is starting to leave mbin in the dust too. I keep hearing of ways piefed just does things better.
It's worth a try!
