When blocking a community, crossposts from that community should also be blocked or filtered out.
If I block a community is because I don’t want to see anything from it, but if someone crosspost from there I have the content that I don’t like in my curated feed.
For example, I’m interested in a certain topic and I follow community A which focuses in that topic. There is also community B which covers the same topic but using AI to generate content. I block B, however since A doesn’t have a rule against AI, people crosspost a lot from B to A.
AI is the most frequent content that I see in my my feed due crosspost, but there is also multiple cases that I block a community centered in a topic that I don’t want to see and someone crosspost from said community to memes or similar.
Maybe there are people fine with how it works right now and want to see when someone crosspost drama from said community, but there should be be the option to enable filtering out them.
I was just about to post this.
Along with this, there are double postings because people are crossposting a second after posting and it is clunking up my feed with duplicates.
Yeah, they have different comment threads, but I don’t care. I don’t want to see all these duplicates everywhere.
And then there’s like you say, where I’ve blocked the community and it shows up on my feed anyway because someone is crossposting to a community I haven’t blocked. But if it comes from that community, I don’t want to see it at all.
I’d like a feature to just block all crossposts. I don’t want to see any of them.
