I think what you have observed is short-lived. I am starting to notice a lot of poor reddit etiquette showing up more and more here.
One of my huge pet peeves is multiple people posting the exact same link to the exact same article into the exact same community over the span of several hours. I'm not sure if they are doing it for the attention, if they are narcissists and assume that because they just discovered it that no one else might have posted it first, or if they are just too damned self-centered to quickly check the latest couple dozen posts to make sure they aren't posting a dupe.
Unfortunately, I observed the same behavior late last. night. I saw the same article posted in five different communities from the same person. I thought we had something better going here. I hope the few who are exhibiting this behavior can get it under control and leave that mentality behind.
I fully expect mass posting like that will be the norm on Lemmy, even more than it was on Reddit. Now instead of a handful of subreddits that cover similar context, there are also a handful of communities on here with literally the exact same name. As annoying as it is to see a bunch of duplicate posts in my feed, I can't say I blame users for doing that when communities are often fragmented here.
