I don't understand. Reddit is exactly the same, it has thousands of different subs, many with overlapping content, many duplicated because someone didn't like the mods, yet I don't recall people saying reddit was broken because of it.

Why is Lemmy suddenly broken just because people naturally do the same reddit thing here?

Can't we just ask for a feature like multi-reddit that lets users aggregate different subs into the same feeds (like sort of collections) instead of trying to reinvent the wheel?

i think it feels more broken because it has less content, communities have less subs. so it can feel like more repetition when you encounter dupplicated posts. also, if you use mobile version that has for example lemmy.ml and . world there is even more reposting most of my time at reddit i spend at my sub page and maybe once or twice encountered duplicates, hot page was different story

But that's because people "abuse" crossposting, it's a people's problem, not a platform one.

Yeah, we just need to give lemmy time to grow, reddit wasn't done in a day either.
