I just leave my feed on All to see a bit of everything, but it drives me nuts when I see someone either post the same link in quick succession to 3+ instances at the same time, so they all end up next to each other on my feed, or you post several related posts (photography, articles etc) within a few minutes so your name and all your context blocks out a large chunk of the All feed, I downvote each post, then block you as a poster, and each of the instances as well. I understand cross posting and wanting to create content for the community is something you want to do to get the Lemmy ball rolling more, but spamming is just extremely annoying, regardless of the content.

    I am with you! It drives me nuts seeing the exact same thing right after another 3-4 times in a row.

    I have been blocking the user that does that for the past few months.

    The only part I am not with you is blocking the instance. Blocking the use is enough in my opinion. It’s hard enough moderating content. An instant shouldn’t need to scour other instances to find out if it duplications happening at the same time.

    Don’t get me wrong I’m not on you about it I’m just saying, I think you might be losing out on a potential gain by blocking an instance due to a user
