They posted it in different communities, all using a link that’s hosted elsewhere.
It’s not their fault that we’re scrolling all instead of individual communities.
I’d say that it should be entirely fine to post to different (relevant) communities. The point of different communities is to let people who may have different tastes choose just the ones that they want.
The problem is that the software doesn’t presently do a great job of presenting these. Like, from a user standpoint, if browsing a list containing posts from multiple communities — be it All or multiple communities that I’m subscribed to — I’d like to see one entry for all of them, with sections for each cross-posted community.
That should really be fixed on the software side, not by users trying to patch around it via modifying their posting behavior.
Who only browses individual communities? We would be on HN if we only wanted one com.
Three coms is spam
The default for many apps seems to be a Subscribed feed.
However, I prefer to browse all and block/filter things I don’t want to see and I think it’s okay that this has the downside of seeing a cross post multiple times. I knew what I was getting myself into.
It’s just annoying that I have to copy an important comment into all posts to reach everyone interested.
We discussed it over the weekend. Three is the maximum allowable.
