I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I think the biggest issue for me with your proposal is any time a single pancake post is made, four communities now show recent activity and are likely to all show on everyone's main feed.

Ideally only one post would be made, no crossposts. One pancake post would be on your feed, and that same post would be visible from other communities

Ahh, I think I got you. So, ideally, 'followed' content wouldn't trigger recent activity within the 'followers' community? Is that the idea?

Followed posts would just link to the original post and wouldn't be a crosspost, yeah. So assuming a and b are following each other, a post from a would show up in b. If someone in b clicks on the post, they would just open the same post from a.
