I can handle the blocking, that’s something I can control. what I can’t control is the same link being posted on multiple instances that just gets annoying to scroll through.

Recently Google announced Android 14, now all the technology, android, google related communities start posting the same link to the announcement along with the commentary by tech blogs and it repeats 10s of times in the feed.

I follow multiple tech subs across multiple instances for broader coverage but if the news is popular, it’s on every one of them.

To be fair, is that radically different from Reddit? Major news is also repeated in all relevant subreddits there.

yes, all those subreddits have counterparts in any of the popular lemmy instances. However, neither of them are active as reddit yet and don’t cover everything, so you’d have to follow multiple ones here on lemmy. So the problem is multiplied on lemmy.
