How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a “prevent duplicates” option in any of the clients? I’m pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There’s very little content that isn’t “memes for teenagers” or “the same news you saw yesterday”.

    I would just block the posting bots, but sometimes those posts get a conversation, so I would miss it.

    I just browse by top over the last 12 hours, and that usually avoids it.

      I usually browse “top (6 hour)” and if there is breaking news it’s the first several pages it’s awful.
