Same users posting same content on all instances (lemmy.world)

I'm just getting familiar with lemmy fediverse and trying to make my way through it after getting out from reddit. I'm trying out liftoff app for android and I'm seeing way more double posts from different instances from same users. Same content from same users on multiple instances. I thought fediverse supposed to, You post in whatever instance you are and it'll be shared among all instances. I'm more confused now.

Lemme explain with subreddits.

You have /r/tech and /r/technology, right? Different subreddits, different communities. Somebody posts something on /r/tech and crossposts it to /r/technology. You're subscribed to both. You now see the same link twice.

That's exactly what's happening here, cross-posting to different communities. It's still the wild west out here, but I would expect a lot of these communities to solidify behind 2-3 "winners" over time, with the smaller ones becoming more niche.

Thanks, please feel free to post anything you'd like explained, or the best "explains" on Lemmy.

Because everybody loves explaining things.

That makes sense. I totally understand lemmy is still in evolution phase. Let it grow and mature.

It hasn't reached evolution just yet. It's still a bunch of bacteria swirling around fighting for resources, slowly but surely taking the form of a proper ecosystem.

Let's be completely frank: the place is a confusing, buggy mess that only a 3rd of users seem to fully understand. But it's much less of one than it was last week. And much less than the week before that.

This is going to get better, it's just going to take some time and patience from everyone.
