I just leave my feed on All to see a bit of everything, but it drives me nuts when I see someone either post the same link in quick succession to 3+ instances at the same time, so they all end up next to each other on my feed, or you post several related posts (photography, articles etc) within a few minutes so your name and all your context blocks out a large chunk of the All feed, I downvote each post, then block you as a poster, and each of the instances as well. I understand cross posting and wanting to create content for the community is something you want to do to get the Lemmy ball rolling more, but spamming is just extremely annoying, regardless of the content.
Blocking the instances, too? Damn you must be really mad over this.
And, like, wouldn’t they pretty quickly run out of instances? Or at least end up blocking the major ones and barely seeing any content on their feed.
That’s good. As regular users you don’t want to interact with this kind of pessimism anyways.
Fair point. I’m not nearly as active here as I was on Reddit so that’s perfectly reasonable.
I guess I should have been more specific in my post. I don’t block the large communities like news and whatnot, but it’s the really tiny obscure ones with a single person spamming them to get them off the ground. The subsections of subsections of hobbies type of thing. I don’t want to see the content of a dozen types of Linux distro, or someone making the same type of art 5 times in a row on my all feed. I did come across as a bit crass on my post, that’s on me. I’m not as jaded as I come across, just annoyed at some of the quirks of All I notice every day.
