How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a “prevent duplicates” option in any of the clients? I’m pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There’s very little content that isn’t “memes for teenagers” or “the same news you saw yesterday”.
Honestly, I just make sure my default view is “Subscribed”. I can go to ‘All’ if I need to, but it definitely helps.
(Mastodon also works best when limiting to local instance and follows - it would benefit from being able to aggregate a few select local instances in a view, but that’s getting even further off topic!)
Sure I just don’t know how to find communities, I was hoping browsing everything would reveal them to me but “everything top (6hrs)” is very limited in scope.
Try “hot” every now and then. Also, go to another instance, every instance has different places that populate their front page “all.”
