Also kinda annoying when people post the same thing to the same community at the same time on different instances.
Posting it later if your first post doesn’t get replies? Fine. But at the same time, it just creates a lot of noise in people’s feeds.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There needs to be a standardized way to manage mirrored communities on different instances. Keep in mind that not everyone might be federated with all the same instances.
crossposting should absolutely be integrated better. the "community" thing inherited from reddit is too clunky, a post should just have tags.
Since the early days of reddit I've wanted tags, it would avoid a lot of noise. Sometimes I wonder if lemmy is broken when I see all the topics again that I voted on and marked as read earlier. Or maybe I'm losing my mind.
Connect (an amazing Canadian lemmy app) automatically shows all the communities a post has been crossposted to above the comments, and shows comment numbers for each of the cross posts. Its made my experience so much better. Theres a ton of other benefits to the app too, and the dev is super quick to respond to any issues. Can't recommend it enough.
I absolutely agree, there is no need to post in a lemmy.ml community.
But that font you're using.......
Love it! It gives me joy!
no one wants this, but everyone is indoctrinated into writing it that way and changing it would be a herculean task, probably recommending the format via NIST, which probably requires a functioning government to adopt it on governmental websites and forms, so first we have to create one of those...
Kinda off topic at the moment but comment appreciated regardless 😅
