Given how often memes are reposted: There should probably another vote option like a "Hey, I've seen this before!" vote button beside the upvote and downvote options.

Would be a fun statistic to see the percentage of people that've already seen it.

When the same guy makes the same post to 10 different instances I wish lemmy would group them together or somehow amalgamate the 10 disparate conversations together. Lemmy is several orders of magnitude more reposty than reddit which is saying a lot.

  I've been waiting on my email for a few weeks....
- Yeah because we (Lemmy) are about 5 people
  
  I look at people's post history and if they're serial crossposters I block them. So lemmy is pretty much just you and me.
I wonder if Lemmy had emoji reactions, if there'd end up being an emoji code that sorta meant this

  Perfect. Nobody uses that one for anything.
It's usually what I use the downvote button for. Especially if I've seen it recently.
- ...why do you need to announce it?..
Reposts are like cover songs. They keep the original alive.
We should have a long-press function that opens a reaction wheel with ten different options and you should be able to select multiple.
But the data needs to be correlated! For example, how many people know it's a repost but upvote it anyway because it's a classic?
...general riposte!..
What's old to you is new to someone else though. I try to not get too bothered by this.
Let's call it "Terminally Online". You realize this post subject is a repost, right OP? SHAME!
Downvotes aren't even a thing on my instance. We only have the upvote button. I like it that way tbh :)
