Well yeah… you blocked me so you won’t see this message, so I’ll guess I’ll answer it for other people instead? That’s how the fediverse works. It’s comprised of different communities. It’s not like I post things all over the place for no reason.
Everything I draw, I share on !thebadwebsite@lemmy.world (in english) and !lemauvaissite@jlai.lu (in french). They’re my “home” communities. I wouldn’t say it’s the same content posted twice, since it’s in two different languages, but you do you.
This one was a comic too, so I posted it on !comicstrips@lemmy.world
This one is a smuggie too, so I posted it on !smugideologyman@lemmy.dbzer0.com
That’s it, I posted the english version of this comic in three different communities, two of which are tiny niche communities that you shouldn’t care about. Way to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Do you have the ability to read the comments you are replying to?
I wrote that I did share it to four different communities.
Let me redo it from the top: On lemmy, there are communities. You share your content on the appropriate communities. I posted it to 3 appropriate communities in english (my home community, comics, and smuggies), and to 1 appropriate community in french (my home community). To consider this spam, you have to fundamentally misunderstand how lemmy works. If it makes you unhappy, just block me once again idk what to tell you, you are literally the first person to complain to me about this.

How tf is is it spam??? It’s literally going into four different communities on three different instances. You’ll only see all four if you’re browsing /all, in which case you are taking on the burden of seeing crossposts. If something is relevant in four different communities, it should be posted in four different communities.
It is your responsibility to curate your own feed, not every other user’s

Sir, this is a Lemmy’s.
The very thing you said, it already happens: it’s called cross-posting and it’s quite common here on Lemmy. I attached a screenshot of just one example among countless others.
It’s pretty normal, and it’s not spammy IMHO: rather, it allows for different parts of Lemmy to better engage in parallel exchanges about the subject in question.
Also, Fediverse doesn’t imply everyone is federated with everyone, some instances defederated from other instances, hence why things benefit of being cross-posted.
Also happens quite frequently, either… Especially, mind you, because we’ve been observing the strange phenomenon where the same situations are happening slightly differently, yet still very similarly, around the world (I just recalled a meme here in Brazil “Pode copiar, só não faz igual”, “You can copy it, just don’t make it exactly the same”).
Both social media platforms and we, the users, can’t help but to post about the slightly different-but-equal variations of the same elephants multiplying like rabbits across this large ballroom that is this Pale Blue Dot.
So if something have been behaving so spammy recently, it’s this increasingly-enshittified, damned Demiurgal world.
I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I’d add the following take: there’s a thing called nuance. Someone can disagree with someone but still continue to dialogue and can, mind you, agree with the same person whose other points they disagree with.
In fact, and it’s quite a meta-moment, I myself don’t fully agree with BadJlai when it comes to certain takes of theirs, particularly their straw-man on political nuance (“greenists-orangists” cartoon), but I myself like their comics and I proceed to appreciate it whenever they post a new comics, even the “greenish-orangists” cartoon I silently disagreed with, because I find their comics cleverly and nicely made, despite of any potential disagreements; this, unironically, is the very thing they seemingly mocked (and the very thing you’re subtly criticizing on your peer, too), the ability to agreeing and disagreeing and holding seemingly-dissonant views on things.
Cross-posting and making seventeen posts is quite different.
And no, no-one cross-posts in a dozen and more communities. And anyone who does it in more than three gets blocked, because that’s spam on Lemmy. It’d be the same as posting the exact same post to Reddit every hour on the hour for 12 hours straight.
Actually cross posting and making 17 posts are literally the exact same thing, if you’re making those 17 posts in different forums
Lmao I didn’t proofread my comment
@Dasus@lemmy.world @comicstrips@lemmy.world
How so?
Practically speaking, it’s ends up being shown in the same way.
And, again: Fediverse has these gaps of federation. We constantly see instances choosing to defederate from others because of conundra. And people are caught in the crossfire, people who got nothing to do with such conundra, so if they need to seek like-minded people on both sides of the island where the bridges were imploded and airspace is closed until further notice, they ought to cross-post.
Call it
"making "+number2English(postAmount)+" posts"or “cross-posting”, this is but a byproduct of how Fediverse is organized in different, often unconnected islands. And you happens to be standing from a quite privileged position in an island where you got this panoramic view of all those air-gapped islands.Sure, Lemmy front-end algorithms could somehow detect duplicates in the same page (perhaps using
Setor something similar) and/or group them as tree-view (that is, something likeObject.groupBy(), grouping similar posts, then rendering them under an accordion element). But it doesn’t happen this way. Nonetheless, that would make an interesting suggestion or PR to the Lemmy project.I can’t really link one right now but I swear I recall seeing posts with a literal dozen of cross-posts. Since I use three different Lemmy instances as a guest for reading the threadiverse (because I actually use Sharkey), such examples are buried in my browsing history. But believe me: this does happen.
It depends. If you’re talking of the same instance or, especially, the same community, yeah it may be seen as spam and it may lead to deletion or bans.
But we’re talking about different instances, even different platforms (Bad Jlai comics were certainly replicated across Mastodon, Misskey, PixelFed, etc). And, again, your instance happens not to defederate from many instances, hence why you get to see more of the cross-posting phenomenon from where you’re standing.
Disclaimer: I myself don’t cross-post things, I don’t even do posts (I do more comments than posts here in the threadiverse), so I got no stakes on this matter, I’m just another person in this thread trying to add something to the explanation of how Lemmy works.

You left this reply ten times. Maybe cull some of those repeats. Anyway I bet I can respond to this entire reply using only phrases from my last comment
It’s literally going into four different communities on three different instances. You’ll only see all four if you’re browsing /all, in which case you are taking on the burden of seeing crossposts.
If something is relevant in four different communities, it should be posted in four different communities.
My account is older than yours lmfao
Damn, guess I need some new phrases
Why would I do that? I mean aside from you literally spamming me with 10 fucking replies to the same comment on the same thread in the same instance, I don’t reckon I’ve ever even noticed you before. If you say some dumb shit I’m going to respond. I only block people who actually disrupt my experience, and you aren’t disrupting my experience. I enjoy these kind of exchanges.*
Wait, was that spam intentional? Did you think that it was somehow analogous to OP posting the same comic in four different communities across three different instances? I really hope not because it isn’t and it would make you look even worse than you already do
Calling me illiterate when you can’t even proofread your own comments. Big fuckin balls on you though, bragging about how you could totally beat me in a duel lmao
*Edited to remove rule-breaking content
Well but you are illiterate, clearly, not even knowing the difference between “can” and “will”.
I’m not saying I totally could. You could be twice my size. But I’d fucking like to, because most likely you’re either a fat cunt who can’t lift his own arse to go to the fridge or somehow else very physically unappealing, which probably made you run away into the internet.
But clearly you go with the band wagon.
No, it shouldn’t. It should be posted to one relevant community.
Otherwise we’d have nothing but cross-posts and the Fediverse is already too monotonous.
Because a person interested in news would never subscribe to several news communities, or a person interested in art wouldn’t subscribe several art communities?
Jesus fucking hell think before you post. And you wonder why I think you’re stupid pheeww
So it was intentional. That’s really embarrassing for you, for the reason that I said in my comment.
When did I mix up can and will?
Ok, I amend: you also take on the burden of seeing crossposts when you’re subscribed to multiple communities with overlapping topics. I guess if you’re a big fan of OP and subscribr to both of their home communities, and also both of the comic communities this is posted in, you could see all four posts without browsing /all.

Alright champ.
There’s one way to make sure I never show up again on “your front page of Lemmy”.
Do it again and be done with it.
