A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It doesn’t bother me at all, I can read more comments about what people think about the topic if it interests me. Now if i notice it’s an account that does it often for nonsense I can just block it.
Doesn't bother me at all. Lemmy is so fractured it's kind of necessary.
I concur. There are a lot of diaper babies on the fedi 🍼
It's the same issue with pretty much any interesting post in the fediverse. As I'm subscribed to a lot of different communities across different instances, I see the same thing over and over.
I imagine/fervently hope we'll sort it out eventually.
I browse all, so it annoys me but I also realize that's what I set myself up for.
When it really annoys me I block the less popular community or the one who keeps annoying me.
But the ones that really really annoy me are the people who join and then make a community "Just for their thoughts, ideas, and links."
Get a fucking diary. (Again, this is still a me problem, it's just what annoys me.)
Do those individuals' diary communities actually show up in all? They sound kind of interesting. Kind of like an analogue to how on Reddit you could post to your own username which nobody did.
That's how I find them, so yeah.
And it might be kind of interesting until you do the math and realize that each instance pays the price of storing your thoughts.
Yeah personally if I did that I would set up my own Lemmy instance. Make it a blog type thing. But that might be too complicated for most people.
I feel that this Lemmy thing isn't really working like I want it to.
I just ignore any repeated content and refuse to interact with it as a rule. A mild annoyance for me, but if there are too many repeated communities in my feed. I often choose one or two that will be blocked to reduce redundancy if it becomes a real problem for me.
I use piefed (and/or my own custom lemmy app), so dupes and comments show up as merged so there’s no issue. When I post, I often try to pick a big instance (for engagement) and a small, relevant instance (to promote local)
People who do it all the time get blocked. Once in a while if fine.
I posted this is 3 other subs but decided I'd probably block me, too, so I deleted the other ones.
I would definitely try to limit yourself to two posts. Lots of people browse by “all” and you may get blocked by people that start to get annoyed with dupes.
For me 2 is fine, 3 is still tolerable, but above that is where I start thinking about options.
But even then, if it’s a one time thing, it’s easier to just keep scrolling than do anything about…
I browse Local; not All so it doesn’t bother me at all, but cross posting across multiple communities on an instance does start to bug me eventually if it’s too pervasive and constant.
I'm mostly subscribed across instances, but I am in a few general question subs which often get repeated posts. Probably should drop the .ml ask.
In both my mobile app (Mlem) and on piefed, there is a crosspost function, so I don’t mind when people use that because it collapses all of the multiple posts into a single post. It gets annoying when I see the same post over and over and over in my feed
If it's the same person, whatever.
If it's whatserface cm#### reposting someone else's post, annoying.
Ahhh sheet cm0002 is a GOAT. That dude is awsome.... He is one of my favorite posters. He has multiple accounts and he is a really good programmer too. He loves china more than me but just because we differ I don't need to poop my pants. He doesn't post other peoples content like you think but he is a trailblazer
It is annoying ~~not~~ but turns out it's ideologically motivated
you need a comma or sumtin
You right, autocorrect
