Both of your posts to this community are videos that were posted a few hours earlier. Should have a peek before you post.

Not everyone has time to read through all the posts on lemmy.
Maybe he was watching YouTube and decided to share it here before going to work.
I’d rather people over share on this platform than not share at all.
Also, I did not see this post before.

Not to be that guy but no one expects someone to stumble on earlier posts and thus not repost them. But you can quite easily search for them before reposting the exact same thing. One requires luck the other requires care. It’s similar to not asking for support with an issue that’s already been discussed in a separate users question.
Statistically sure but then it’s on the algorithm to recommend stuff that interests you more. Reposting things is just spoofing the recommendation algorithm and making things more likely to bubble up to you which is always going to cut both ways. Some people want duplication, others don’t.

You know if people care about reposts so much then maybe lemmy should check for you before you post.
That doesn’t matter. I never saw the post before, so I would never have seen it if it were not for the repost.
I’m sure in not the only one.

Literally after 2 LTT posts lemmy.world/post/23877537
So…
Why does Lemmy not prevent duplicate links, at least within a time window?
I guess because it’s only at like version 0.2? There’s probably lots of things that it should do, but doesn’t yet.
This is why we have mods.
True that
Damn, that was a lot more intense than I expected, but the man speaks the truth!
very intense, 5 yrs late…but ok
I already posted this here yesterday.
Then you’re not allowed to post it again for a week. Those are the rules. Others have to repost in the meantime.
