I disagree with this - on the web client crossposts are only shown once if you are subscribed to multiple communities. It’s useful if the same community is in multiple instances, or if there’s both a general and specific category that the content makes sense for.
I do think Lemmy could do with improving the UI though, and have communities that span multiple instances.
For starters it spams all. Also very often people spam a meme in like 10 meme communities and then its all over your feed.
Lemmy is quite small, one user can make a noticeable difference. Like I’d bet you could check my profile and recognise smth I’d posted. So 2-3 communities is OK, but going beyond that is excessive.
Now I’m not sure about how crossposts are dealt with, also I’m on an android app anyways. Mostly repeat posts aren’t crossposts but one image in several communities.
