I've developed a few browser extensions, and every week I receive numerous emails with "revenue offer". Some experienced developers know that offers like these will inject malware into the browsers of your users, but scammers who make these offers will not tell you about it. They offer "integrations" that don't look so suspicious. Imagine how many developers have accepted these offers. Then look at the number of extensions in your browser and think about how much risk there is that you have an extension with malware.
Currently you don’t.
The real underlying issue for this all is that the “Hot” sorting algorithm Lemmy (and Kbin) uses is terrible - if someone posts the same thing in 5 different big & popular (i.e “hot”) communities at the same time, there’s a good chance you’ll see all those five posts all next to each other on your feed even if one has 100 votes and the others have 30 - note how they are all “6 hours ago”.
Lemmy people, this post literally showed up five times in a row on my feed across 5 different subs. How do I fix that?
Hopefully one day we’ll have smart clients which will optionally merge posts and underlying comments with common titles / URLs
Ask your client developer to implement cross-post support.

Five different subs or communities?
Edit: sorry, I didn’t mean to be pedantic. In my mind, I was asking “five different communities or instances”?
Communities, sorry it’s old Reddit speak to call it subs.
No, you were fine. I actually meant “five communities or instances”. But I was half asleep.
