Could you give an example of the issue? I don't understand what the problem entails.

Home to all things "Mildly Infuriating" Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that.
I want my day mildly ruined, not completely ruined. Please remember to refrain from reposting old content. If you post a post from reddit it is good practice to include a link and credit the OP. I'm not about stealing content!

It might be that OP is referring to Mastodon posts appearing in Lemmy? example, this appears on the proton privacy Lemmy community
edit: added example
So maybe 1/3rd of posts are like.....
X headline summary.
Then in box. A longer summary. X headline longer headline.
Then below the box, a full description of X.
Just seems very redundant. After seeing this sooo much, was wondering if it's a setting, or perhaps a design flaw?
It's probably just people copying the articles to other relevant/duplicate communities. Since each instance can make its own communities, you'll sometimes see the same one made for .world, lemm.ee, etc. I.e. there are now two Star Trek meme communities, Risa and Ten Forward, on different instances.
I haven't made a post on Lemmy yet so I don't know what the form you fill in looks like. Sounds like a design flaw at first glance, to me. I have noticed the same odd thing though, indeed.
I think the OP is talking about Lemmy having both a content preview and a text area for link posts.
Some users tend to write their own summary in the text area, so when opening up a post, the result will be:
- Large title written by the OP
- Automatic preview of the page, generated by Lemmy
- Text summary of the page, written by the OP
I agree that this is a bit clunky in terms of UX
