    Things can be cross-posted so duplicates don’t repeatedly show up. I’m seeing this article 3 times in a row on my front page. You should post it once and cross-post to the relevant communities rather than spam the link.

      crossposted post aren’t all showing in the main thread ? Or you are using a filter ?

      Because it’s surely a bit annoying to see the same post on multiple communities even though they are the same(but on differents instances)

      I don’t claim to be an expert, but couldn’t it simply be different instances? Lemmy.world doesn’t federate all the same instances as Lemmy.dbzer0.com, but they are still federated to each other. Posting to both will let you see duplicates, but there may be people from other instances who only see one.
