Thank you for calling me out, but I don’t think I fucked up.

This isn’t reddit. This is the fediverse. It’s good practice to publish a link to all relevant comma.
People downvoted maybe because there’s a bug in their clients sort method that doesn’t dedupe links in their feeds.
Don’t be an asshole by deleting high-effort posts from usrsrs who take the time to find all relevant communities in the Lemmy verse and crosspost to all of them. You’re welcome.

It was a very good post, actually, and I didn’t relish deleting them. You’re welcome to resubmit it, in fact. But lemmy.ml users don’t like having their “Local” page filled up with several copies of the same post. That web UI feature is popular and works as intended; it’s not supposed to dedupe. Our users often flag posts as spam when this happens, which we admins then have to deal with it.

So, as I’m reading this threat to learn some etiquette myself, infer the ‘user’s not wanting their “local” page to include duplicates’ to mean that when posting to multiple communities, it would be a best practice to only pick one relevant community per server instance?
Like in this case, it was crossed to both: ‘worldnews@lemmy.world’ and ‘world@lemmy.world’
In order to avoid duplicates, only one of those should have been included?
Like community1@server1 community2@server2, etc? If there’s two relevant communities, just pick the best one?

It’s your job to recognize that it was a flag error.
Did you see the one user that said I had double posted. And when I pointed out that I had only posted once to each relevant comm, they apologized and said they wanted to undo their flagging it as spam?
This is a UI bug for the New sort filter. Its your job to weigh the flags and understand when users flag something by accident
