The fediverse isn't going to work if top pages consist of the same link 10x reposted. (kbin.social)

Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.

I'd argue that this in large part reflects both the fragmented nature of communities at present and also limited focus at present. Both should dilute as the fediverse expands and/or communities consolidate. If people are subscirbed to 5 versions of Gaming for example, then the same links might explode in all the communities subbed to.

But I have no doubt you're right that this also reflects stuff needing developing - for example algorithms to help sort "All" or "subbed" and renove (or even consolidate duplicates in some way) is going to be needed.
