How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a "prevent duplicates" option in any of the clients? I'm pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There's very little content that isn't "memes for teenagers" or "the same news you saw yesterday".

Its not ontly that, on my lemmy server there are multiple people who really take that BuT LeMMy iS a NeWs aGgReGatOr to the next fucking level, to the point that i recognise 4 users who spam teh same article over multiple subs in almost choir unisons. Noone from them is a bot account, they really think they are doing a good service.

You do need content and that's what they're doing. Be the change and post a few different articles a day since that's what you'd like to see.
