If people would use the lemmy cross posting functionality it would only show up once.

Indeed, unfortunately most of the mobile apps don't implement that feature
I think ljdawson is working on it for Sync. I assume that's why he held off on implementing posting.

I didn’t even realize this was a thing already. The apps need to add this ASAP, seems like a pretty vital part of making the experience smooth.

if people do cross posts, will i see the post only once?
will lemmy detect that i can see the original + 3 crossposts and show me only the original?
this is more like a feature request, i don't think we are there yet.
we could also aggregate and sync comments across cross postings, so that the post is really just one, but posted in more than one community.
Yes, this is how it works in lemmy-ui. In this following example someone posted to [email protected] and I pressed the cross-post button and cross-posted it to [email protected]:
And if you cross post it to more then one there will be just a list of them.
if people do cross posts, will i see the post only once?
will lemmy detect that i can see the original + 3 crossposts and show me only the original?
On the website, it does
Problem is on mobile apps. If it works on website, that's good but doesn't solve the problem of majority of users that are on mobile.

Sort by Top 6 Hours vs Hot or Active
This was a game changer for me when I saw someone suggest it
Top 6 gang

Eh. Eventually one of them would win out. I posted the same link in [email protected] and [email protected]. The first one hasn’t had any comments where as the second one has more than a dozen comments. I know where I’ll post the next time.
A lot of people seem to have forgotten (or maybe just weren't around at the time) but there were tons of duplicate communities on reddit during the first years too. Over time their mods either agreed to close one and point everyone to the other or the less active ones faded away naturally.
One problematic scenario I can envision with that approach on Lemmy however is the mods of news@lemmysite1 and news@lemmysite2 agreeing to keep the first one alive, but then after a while lemmysite1 closes for whatever reason. So we're left with news@lemmysite2 which is a ghost town. Probably not a big deal for a news community, but for something with a lot of info on a particular topic it's not really ideal.

Do you wake up on the same snowy day, every day, with Sonny and Cher's "I got you babe" playing on the clock radio?

I suggested an idea to fix this, that I called "thread entanglement". I had suggested it for Kbin specifically, before, but honestly the base Lemmy software could use something like this. I'd love to see some sort of smart merging of duplicate threads like this be possible.

If the title text is the same it should just squash them, show you all the options on further inspection.

It's just like browsing r/all on reddit. We did it, Lemmy!
My biggest gripe right now is how often everything goes down. About 6 times out of 10 when I go to load anything on lemmy it is down, confirmed on https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io/
lemmy.world got too big IMO. So I ended up switching to a different instance. If all the users were to evenly distribute themselves across many instances, and not just have everyone on like 1-3 different instances, I think that the issues with unavailability, lag, and whatnot would happen much less.

Keep in mind you can always block communities you're not interested in to prevent them from appearing in any feed. I've already blocked plenty of communities to make the "All" post list digestable.
There are so many though. I'm trying to prune politics from my feed but people keep making new goddamn communities - a dozen isn't enough, apparently - and then crossposting everything everywhere anyway.

There are a couple of users I recognize just because of the amount of duplicate/triplicate/quadruplicate posts I see from them, often times grouped up like that too.
Which... Why? There's no karma to farm here, just post it once and let the conversation happen there.
No offense to anyone, but I'm down voting duplicates to try to stop this shit.
Because there's more then one community of the same topic. They're actually doing a really good thing, they're trying to grow multiple communities. It's not karma farming here, it's supporting communities. That is much preferably then people only submitting to the biggest community and create more centralization.

There are some who are trying to feed content to all communities instead of just choosing.
I appreciate the poster sharing the article to multiple communities/instances, but would be nice if the Lemmy front-end could batch these (maybe with a link like "appears in a@b, b@b, c@a ...") if the user + link + title all hashed out to the same thing.
I'm surprised that no-one's brought out a client that can merge communities. People properly using the cross-posting feature seems to help with this a bit.
At least if lemmy detects the same link it should view it as a cross-post automatically, even if people didn't use the cross-post UI.

My biggest gripe is that 3/4th of what I write on here ends in an angry argument, usually somehow about politics (in an area of politics I don't even GAF about!)
Seriously considering just hopping to another instance.
Listen, I see from what you said, what your worldview and values are, and I'm here to remind you that they're wrong.

What is worse is that most of those duplicates come from the same poster who are not even cross posting...

On one hand yes annoying but on the other I'm grateful for their effort in generating post
I'm all in favor of several communities on the same topic as long as they offer different content
Having the same link or picture shared across several communities is just detrimental to the user experience.
Also, to avoid this, maybe we should have core communities for a specific topic (for instance unions), and then they can fork if there is a need (e.g. what happened with [email protected] and [email protected]
OP, as of now, I would just suggest to block communities that are too similar.
I only have one tech community as they seemed to all be the same anyway, I'll reassess in a few weeks if I need to select the other one.
The problem with blocking a community is if you block the one that eventually takes off, you miss out. I am just accepting it for now and assume it will sort itself out.
Another option would be to upvote one and downvote the other, to help speed the process up.

Don't sort by new? Top on a short time frame is probably a better choice
I sort by active and this is how my feed looks. Except I see the duplicates every 5-6 posts. But I see the same ~10 posts for maybe 100+ with a few non-duplicates sprinkled in. Same with sorting by hot.
And then 24h later, it's the same feed, with the same duplicates.
36h later and still maybe 1/2 are the same duplicates from 2 days prior.
It's pretty bad, finding threads I'm interested in keeps getting harder and harder.

I feel like the same thing happened on reddit when you followed multiple similar communities, i.e. unions and iwwunions in this photo.

Wef err Voyager has a thing that will block things that you have already looked at.
That might help
