I reckon things like that will stop as either a) one community/magazine starts being the main one and people start paying mainly to that or b) kbin and lemmy develop a culture that discourages so much cross posting because people signing up for multiple communities/magazines across platforms rather than sticking to their own platform. Both lemmy and kbin are too new for either of those to have occurred.
You might want to comment to the pride that do it how spammy it makes the feed. They might not realize how annoying it can get, in their excitement to post and wanting to get the most eyes on it.
There's also c) have people start using tags like #technology more frequently in their technology related posts, and implement support for subscribing to a tag (that's something Mastodon already has, so it should be possible).
Tag thread feeds (like https://kbin.social/tag/technology/threads ) show content cross-instance and cross-magazine, and they also have the advantage that you can add multiple tags to the same post, no need to repeat the post to have it appear in multiple tag feeds.
Thanks for that. I couldn't figure out how to search hashtags from kbin.
Another tip: you can subscribe (or block) based on the domain of the link posted by using /d/<DOMAIN>
This also works using a lemmy/kbin instance as domain like https://kbin.social/d/startrek.website or https://kbin.social/d/ttrpg.network ..although it doesn't really refer to all communications with that instance
