    Lemmy people, this post literally showed up five times in a row on my feed across 5 different subs. How do I fix that?

      Hopefully one day we’ll have smart clients which will optionally merge posts and underlying comments with common titles / URLs

      Currently you don’t.
      The real underlying issue for this all is that the “Hot” sorting algorithm Lemmy (and Kbin) uses is terrible - if someone posts the same thing in 5 different big & popular (i.e “hot”) communities at the same time, there’s a good chance you’ll see all those five posts all next to each other on your feed even if one has 100 votes and the others have 30 - note how they are all “6 hours ago”.

      Five different subs or communities?

      Edit: sorry, I didn’t mean to be pedantic. In my mind, I was asking “five different communities or instances”?
