    Can we please stop posting memes in multiple similar communities? Just pick one. I hate having to go back and downvote a meme I originally upvoted :(

      If it’s relevant to multiple communities, why not upvote it in all the places?

          If there are multiple communities about something you like, why not have that thing you like in them both?

            It creates bloat in the feed where your scrolling past the same thing over and over.

            More than you normally would anyway

              Shouldn’t people who are in only one of those communities get to see the thing? Not everyone will be subscribed to them both.

                Not if you sort by all. Then you see every community in every instance your instance is federated with.

                It can end up in seeing the same post a lot.

                  Not everyone sorts by all, some people only browse on local, and so on. All things considered, I’d favor having a cool thing in multiple places to get the widest reach possible over considering having to scroll past it again a bad thing.

                  If you’re going to follow and interact with multiple communities, I think using the voting system to encourage good content in each one of them is a cool thing to do (especially in the Fediverse which doesn’t do shady algorithm stiff to force unrequested things in front of its users; we users are the only thing keeping the good stuff moving up to the top.)

    The one in the right looks like he’s cosplaying Tommy Wiseau in The Room

    That post title brings back memories:

    It was 1981 and my mom was having a hard time getting over the passing of my dad. So for a while, I occasionally took her to the movies.

    One Saturday, I took her to see “Heavy Metal”.

    She watched attentively with nary a comment.

    Afterwards, I expected her to say something about it, given its mature content.

    And, as we were passing through the lobby, she did:

    “That was a cartoon.”
