There are definitely growing pains here, it's the same problem Reddit has with people posting the same thing in multiple different communities, I don't want to block them, because they're communities that I'm interested in, it's just the same repeated stuff, which gets annoying.
I blocked the main politics subs because it was nothing but Trump posts (I'm American, so it's been like 8 years of hearing about this asshole on a nearly daily basis). The new annoyance is the constant posts in multiple communities about the Israel/Palestine conflict. I get that it's a hot issue, and a lot of people care about it, but I really don't and I'd rather not see stuff about it every freaking day.
It would be great if there was some sort of keyword filter for the c/All or even your subbed communities where you can filter out keywords so it's not an endless stream of the same shit. Another example is posts about the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator getting the ax, it's like "I know this happened, I don't need to see posts about it in 5 different communities".
