Content jacking and top posting other people’s content is really bad for Lemmy. It’s also just being a dick to other people making content on the platform.
- feed is spammy
- divides conversation
- chills engagement
- makes Lemmy less friendly to posters
This pattern is very common on lemmy, and needs to stop.
This is often used to attack or force migrate conversations from a instance someone doesn’t like to another instance they do like. It’s offensive by its very nature.
If you want to make a better community, great, do it but not at the expense of other Lemmy posters.
The Lemmy devs recently stated that this is a client problem, and that they don’t plan to change that

IMO it’s a shame, because having the consolidated view is just much better to initiate conversations, but at least Piefed offers that options.
A few instances popped recently, so there’s definitely some traction towards that. Also the 1.0 version was just announced on !piefed_meta@piefed.social .
Of course they don’t, because Dessalines is too busy agenda modding to add new features.
