Is there someway to stop this?

Click the elipses and block the user, you won't see their posts anymore. Because of how the fediverse is, some people post their content to multiple communities and it results in spam. Currently blocking is the only way to get rid of it.
- I don’t understand - is this not how it’s meant to work? Ten functionally-identical communities get ten identical posts, and unless you block nine of the communities you’ll see the same exact stuff ten times? I’ve been blocking communities left and right… have I been doing it wrong?
  
  you would not see all of them unless you are subscribed to them, so just not subscribing would work. Or just blocking the user that reposts that much...
- That’s not what spam is.
  
  Wtf are you talking about, repeatedly posting the same post across multiple communities in short succession would be called spam. What else are you calling it?

They may not know about Lemmy's crosspost feature.

Maybe "spam" their posts with comments on how to crosspost.

Is it only this one post? Because I did see that dudes spam on about 6-10 different communities.

Also the solutions may be app-specific. The release note for the latest Liftoffs say they are trying to pare down the duplicates.

Sometimes you got to post to multiple communities and contents thin in the small places.
