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
Oh my Gosh. Okay, this is me!
First off, thank you so much! Really appreciate you enjoying the articles we put out :) One think I might emphasize here though is that so far as the site goes, Gardiner and I are partners! This is one of my articles though (so I'm to blame for this appearing so often in your feed). In fact I'm 99.99% sure Gardiner doesn't actually share his articles on Lemmy at all.
(And I'm 'she'!)
I'm sorry it appears like this. It used to annoy me back when I was regularly on Reddit, when a post was cross-posted to a different community I'd have to follow that link, read their description of the post, then follow the link then go back a few steps to start/join the discussion in that community. Since joining Lemmy and sharing here (it has been a long time!) I just went against that grain and posted in the communities it was relevant to, to give each community a space to chat about it.
I had no idea your app was showing it this way, or that how I was doing this was annoying anyone. I'll just go back to the age old cross-post method instead, going forward. Interesting that your app shows it this way, the one I use seems to do that for me.
Sorry to annoy you! It won't happen going forward :)
Note that the post doesn't necessarily go against your (re)posting style, but rather how it is represented in the apps. As others have noted, there are options that combine reposts, with Voyager (which is shown in OP's screenshot) having an open issue ticket. Though you using the native repost function probably helps.
Thank you for your work, btw ❤️
There's a few cross folk in here, whose comments (I can't pretend don't hurt a bit!) do disagree. I'll just have to have a think how I share on here going forward. The last thing I want to do is annoy anyone, but it takes a user all of 2 seconds to click on my profile here and see I'm deeply invested in the fediverse and have been on Lemmy for years now.
I appreciate your comment, thank you for saying so!
Well just know that the professionalism with which you are handling this situation has shown your good character to people like me, who have not heard of your work before. It made me want to go check out your site and articles now.

In that case, have at it!
And thank you so much, what a kind comment to find :)
Hello,
Thank you for posting those aricles. I wouldn't worry too much about crossposting, as you can see from the comments, there are apps and other software that deals with this better, so you shouldn't refrain too much.
Well I didn’t know you were Dash. I feel honored that you answered to my post.
I enjoy reading your articles on the Bryant Review and I’m sorry if I thought that Gardiner wrote the article about RetroDeck when in fact it was you.
Thanks for taking note of the fact that the method you were using was creating duplicates and I hope crossposting solves the issue (although half of the duplicates shown on my feed were from Lazorne and not from you). If not, it ain’t such a big deal, just a small annoyance.
At least everyone now knows that the Bryant Review and RetroDeck are great and deserve to be known for it!
Oh no problems!
I just shared an article (the full interview of my questions and answers with the DroidDeck team, which I turned into that feature article on our site!) which is on my NeoCities site, by cross-posting to three communities here. From what I see though it is the exact same issue again, just with a different method.
I think this is in fact a Fediverse issue, and not how I've been sharing articles to communities here. I'm sorry!
I only saw it on the games@lemmy.world community. On what other community did you post it too?
If people who subscribed to all of these comminities are seeing duplicates, I guess it’s really a Fediverse issue as I totally understand why you wanna post on many communities to reach more people.
Let’s hope a developper finds a way to solve it one day.
