On the other side, spammers could add a quick sentence to a low value video, making it "valid" if that's the criteria used

No, definitely not. I don't get it either, it's completely relevant for this community
Hey, nice to see you here, I'm a big fan of Mbin!
I don't get why people downvote this kind of posts
From what I remember, the mbin team was indeed discussing it. I don't remember the details, but I think it was aligned with what you are saying.
I think so, that's not that big of a deal, is it?
There are several case of divides, such as !moviesandtv@lemmy.film and @movies@lemmy.world
I can see the genuine need to post to several communities at once
The issue is that due to the different defederation policies, if you want to communicate to the whole fediverse audience, you need to both.
Hexbear, the 8th largest Lemmy instance, cannot access !fediverse@lemmy.world. They have to access !fediverse@lemmy.ml.
On the other side, some users don’t want to subscribe to the .ml version due to the political background of the instance.
So in the end anyone posting have to do it twice, otherwise the audience they want to reach won't see their content.
Posting the same content in both will cause me to see duplicates.
That’s exactly one of the issues I was pointing out in the post. There should be a unique !fediverse community. But as soon as you suggest this idea, people come saying that the only one should be their one (see above). Which brings you to the audience fragmentation.
On Kbin, you can: https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/329396/How-many-of-you-are-actually-chatbots/votes/down
On Lemmy, it's ~~available on the AP~~ available in the database, so an admin instance can get that, but I don't know of any client that offers the feature
I'm not talking about users, but communities.
In summary, if you really want to make sure that your communities are well managed, host them on your own instance.
