The people app has been an abomination since the start and was barely updated since.

Still can’t uninstall it

Few “big bicycling” inspires a lot of “small bicycling”

Adobe are awful. I hope they go soon and bring their shitty Reader in the same way Flash went.

I know the web based app require login to MS, always online, etc., but the current Mail & Calendar app is really really bad.

I get your points. Thanks.

The way I use multis in Reddit is to create bigger topics, and I rarely see duplicated posts. For example, in Reddit I do not have a multi for subs /r/android1, /r/android2, /r/android3. However, I have a multi for mobile OSs, grouping /r/android and /r/iOS. Rarely do I see duplication.

That’s precisely why Reddit and Lemmy exist, they are content aggregators and people sort out the best content and comments by voting. If you are trying to make the point that I should deal with multiple duplicates posts on Lemmy in the same way I deal with multiple news outlets, then your point is equivalent to say that Lemmy is useless.

Well said, I agree with this too.

The problem is that posts may be exactly on the same trending topic, but not exactly the same. They could link to two different news sources for essentially the same news item. Or they could be a text or an image post about the same. Reddit mods would usually remove this kind of soft duplication within the same sub, and instead encourage to comment to one single post.

Merging multiple communities like in a Reddit multisub would not solve the issue of duplicated posts in one’s feed.

The “old” community was frozen.

“Our feeling, and our decision, is that while having multiple communities for the same topic is a key strength of the fediverse, we’re keen to avoid unnecessary fragmentation for existing members and confusion for any newcomers.”

The multi does not solve the fact that we’re going to see multiple similar posts on the same trending topic, with comments/discussions distributed among them. One of the things mods do on reddit is to exactly prevent this in each sub. Here, mods can prevent this in each community, but not solving the duplication in multiple communities of different servers.

Thanks, yes, I agree

I think I do understand it. One of my points above is one community decided to merge into the other to prevent fragmentation. Not my own words, sticky post on android@lemmy.world.

Thanks!

I totally get it and I agree, however this phenomenon is also exacerbated by the way they phrase the emails encouraging you to answer such questions. “Can you help xxx?” Of course I can… and if I can’t, I would still try…
