Is there a way to get lemmy to remove reposts?

[–] suckmyspez@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Block the accounts that are reposting

It'd be better to have clients that can aggregate links posted across communities (so you only see 1 aggregate post per link on a given day), as well as block or mark as read based on the link.

Blocking individual users is a manual, endless game of whackamole.

I don't know about endless. !technology only has about a dozen different users represented on the first page of posts. I don't think Lemmy has the critical mass of users to flood the "block a few manually" response.

I do like the idea of combining reposts between communities, though. Get just one discussion going! Someone posted something interesting about books the other day. I replied, but there was no other activity.

Turned out that all the discussion was happening in the OTHER community, the one I hadn't seen :(

Although...different communities have different moderation standards. A combined discussion like this would be a headache for the mods.

this one is a bot, and I think a bot could at least make a search before posting a link. but I suppose cleaning these up could be done by another bot.

You could also ignore reposts. For some of us, it's the first time we are seeing it.
