Hi everyone!
I’m really enjoying the Fediverse through Lemmy and Peertube.
Two creators I enjoy and follow on the Fediverse are Dash and Gardiner Bryant (both work on The Bryant Review) as their content is really enjoyable.
Sadly they are the target of my post as they shares their content on many different communities that I follow.
Today I had 5 times the same topic on RetroDeck (great project too) on my feed on Lemmy (Voyager).
It is the same on PieFed (Interstellar).
This is really annoying and I haven’t found a way to not show these duplicates. Do you know about one or is it worked on?
Also when crossposting, it would be great if everything appeared under on post. Is it feasible?
Sorry if it’s easy and I just missed it. In a way I hope it is because it would mean that the Fediverse is festure rich😇
Edit: Added Dash as she was in fact the one who published the article. Also it appears that the issue is only on mobile apps since both the browser of Lemmy and PieFed don’t have it.
Edit 2: Using the Progressive Web App of PieFed seems to have solved the issue for me
Hello there, original writer of the article, and the posts here.
I’ve been contributing to the fediverse for years now. Not only am I on Lemmy every single day, I’m on Mastodon. Gardiner (my partner in the site, he and run it together!) is well known for his support of the fediverse. Every video he makes goes to subscribeto.me
I explained elsewhere in this post why I share my posts as I do, but maybe just do a quick scroll through my profile here. You’ll see years of me sharing to this space.
What exactly do you think I will do with this karma?
Thanks for your great work! Clearly you are an outlier among social media users, most of whom are overwhelmingly (if not exclusively) consumers. My karma-farmer comment was a generalization, not directed at you. I apologize if it gave offense.
As for what anybody hopes to do with social media karma, I really don’t know. Someone once told me well developed reddit accounts can actually be bought and sold, but that has to be a very niche activity. Over the years I’ve abandoned at least a dozen reddit accounts with tens of thousands of points, because I came up with a username I liked more. My best guess is that the main appeal of karma is validation for people who don’t have enough positive interaction IRL, but I’m not trained in psychology.
