    Off topic:

    I’m new to Lemmy so I don’t know if there’s a good workaround for this, but OP posted this to /c/4chan as well as /c/greentext and both came to my feed one after the other.

    Am I supposed to block OP for cross posting, block one of the two communities? Both ideas seem kinda stupid.

      It’s because OP made two separate posts and therefore uploaded the image twice so lemmy doesn’t recognize it as cross-post (check the image URLs, they are different). If OP properly cross-posted it, the URL would be the same and you wouldn’t see it twice in your feed.

      Seeing double posts is IMO not frequent enough to require mechanisms to fix it (and I can’t even imagine a built-in mechanism against it).

      c/greentext should be blocked because it’s full of annoying fake stories, though.
