MugmoorWas it really necessary for you to post this in no less than 5 different communities? You’ve been called out for this before and claimed you’d start using crosspoting.
This is the first time I’ve seen it.
If you want to complain about crossposting, go back to Reddit. Lemmy is almost purpose-built for posting in multiple locations, because federation means not everyone will see every instance.

I agree that it should be a platform feature, just offering a suggestion how to evade some scrutiny for now. People seem to comment about it quite often, so it might be an ok temporary solution.
And, you know, it does look weird.
Even worse, it seems the block user functionality on kbin isn't currently working.
No one wants to see the same article spammed 5 times in a row on their feed.
