This was originally published in 2021 so I wonder why it has a new article.

This bot should see when a link has already been posted and not duplicate it. Similarly, some kind of automod should prevent the same article being posted twice.
As you’ve been very diligent reporting errors and suggesting changes to map data, have you ever considered contributing to OpenStreetMap? You might like helping by using the app Every Door on iOS, for example.
If they’re cross-posted they’ll show up only once (though not all apps support this feature yet). I cross-post when I know something is especially relevant to multiple communities. If I don’t then someone else will, either not cross-posting or using a different source, meaning it will definitely show up multiple times to people.
Can you provide more context? Maybe the posts that are being linked to in that screenshot?
This was discussed on both communities you posted this two five days ago:

(Sorry for the yiffit links - Lemmy still does not have server-neutral ways to link to posts)
This is just the same as the guy who calls his friend that “knows computers” about the most amazing app idea ever that’s totally guaranteed to make both of them millions. He can’t make the app himself; he’s just the ideas guy. Sure, he can’t pay anything right now, but it’s absolutely worth working on a vague idea for months for the chance of being a multi-millionaire by the end of the year. Right?
Hah, likewise :)

Yeah, if you stick with meta-genres like rock, classical, country, you’re going to be okay usually.
Perfect. This was my suggestion.
Genres are not bullshit. They give you an instant general idea what kind of work something is. If you wanted to hear either someone’s best classical recording of the year or best metal recording of the year, that simple addition of genre already tells you which one you’re likely more interested in.
To be clear, I am not in favour of discussions arguing what narrowly specific micro genre a piece of music belongs to. I’m only suggesting a single word is added as a guide. That’s all.
Then the problem would be people squabbling about genre, which can easily be stopped. I don’t think we should prevent ourselves from doing something potentially very helpful because we foresee a chance of another problem occurring, especially one that can be dealt with.
I feel that Lemmy is still too small for many genres to have their own community.
I think people have the right to choose if they want to listen to something within their comfort zone or not. People have a generally good idea of what they like and don’t like, and it’s very reasonable for people to want to discover new music within genres they are familiar with.
The company told subscribers the rise was to “invest in and innovate our product offerings and features, and bring you the best experience”, but tactically avoided mentioning any positive effects for recording artists and songwriters. Their share of streaming income is not determined by Spotify itself – it is also affected by the terms of their record deal, should they have one. Spotify was, however, among services opposing an increase in the royalty rate for songwriters in the US (that opposition failed in July 2022 and the new rate was set at 15.1%).
Doesn’t look like it to me, other than what they’re obliged to do by the new rate set last year.
This is a clickbait headline. I think we should try to avoid these here. At the very least give the main points of the article to avoid giving unnecessary traffic to potentially meaningless articles.
For everyone’s benefit, and for the help of discussion (which is what we want here) here are the main six points from the article:
Let’s look at everything Mastodon gets wrong.
1) Terrible name
Mastodon implies large, slow, frozen, and dead for thousands of years. The logo is cute, but the service right now stinks almost as badly as a thawing woolly mammoth.
2) There is no single Mastodon
In trying to satisfy a spike of new users, Mastodon broke the cardinal rule of social media: it separated them into silos and made it hard if not impossible for them to all socialize. This unfortunate design makes Mastodon feel more like a bunch of chat rooms rather than a cohesive, growing social network. The Federated Timeline helps, but it’s not the default view.
And I get that having a decentralized social media platform, Mastodon creator Eugen Rochko’s big idea, helps create safe zones from groups and topics, but it’s really a terrible approach that will lead to a stagnant growth and way more opinion bubbles, which is the last thing we need.
3) Toots
In trying to be the anti-twitter, Mastodon’s Rochko chose the dumbest and most ridiculous post name possible: Toots. This too-cute take-off on Tweets literally hurts me every time I say and do it on Mastodon.
4) Handles are meaningless
User handles do show up in Toots (blech!) but not in the URLs for users’ Mastodon homepages. Giving users numbers (mine is 995) instead of identifiable website addresses makes Mastodon feel amateurish.
5) Where is everyone?
If you can’t find people by name, then how can you follow them on Mastodon? Someone in one local Mastodon timeline may not appear in another (Sorry, Mr. Shatner). To see everyone (at least I think you see everyone), you have to troll the Federated timeline, open a Toot (blech!) and add them there. Twitter and other social networks already have this stuff figured out. Why is Mastodon better? It’s not!
6) Apps feel like a science project
I started using Mastodon in Safari. It was not a good experience. At least there’s an app…or apps.
There is no one app called Mastodon. Instead, you can find a Github list of apps for the open-source project. Apps like the iOS-based Amaroq let you log into any of the many Mastodon “instances” by typing in the name. Nope, there’s no list of instances because I don’t think anyone knows just how many Mastodon instances are out there.
I posted about this here hours ago.
