      I think it’s a combination of reposting on Lemmy, multiple communities posting similar stories, and news sites regurgitating results from other sites like it’s fresh news.

        Agree. My gripe with this article is that I’ve seen it posted on ~6+ communities. I love that Linux is beating windows in gaming benchmarks, but I think the title sensationalizes it the out performance a slight bit.

          I swear most lemmy users will just defend the reposting to death. I’ve been complaining about it since the beginning (huge problem on the lemmynsfw instance) and how people don’t seem to grasp how “federation” works, how everyone sees their damn constant reposts in every instance. Worse part is usually the same user/bot/script posting it everywhere.
          Oh an instance is defederated? Well sucks to suck, but I bet at least one of their users will post it there if they have a relevant community.

              Nope, crossposted posts have a little label that indicates it, I mean users that post the same content to multiple communities (either with a script or manually) and multiple instances which ends up showing multiple times across the feed (either karmawhores or sellers), instead of posting once (to the best fitting community) and then letting that post go up or down the feed and let it federate everywhere.

              Crossposting should be modified too because then the post appears twice in the feed, the original and the one marked as crosspost.
