It’s my hope to see unity and cohesion is the Lemmy-verse. Looks like asklemmy@lemmy.ml has over 39k subscribers.

Is there a way that this same conversation can “merge” with that one so that this one can be archived there?

How are Lemmy instances coping with two great ideas that might have come up at the same time but one has a lot more traction?

And true story: I’m not trying to start anything. I’m sincerely trying to promote Lemmy and perfect it — this would just be sanding the edges?

    I find cross posting between the communities here kind of annoying tbh. I end up getting a lot of duplicate posts because I subscribe to both like OP suggested

        Oh maybe you do. Maybe I’m just seeing posts people have manually posted across multiple subs

        Depends on the UI.

        In the feed, or rather the API endpoint that populates the feed, it is up to the client to combine duplicate; there’s no cross post data attached to the post objects until you click into a post.
