Is there any protocol regarding votes on duplicate links? (lemm.ee)

I guess I'm not the only one that happens to this, I follow communities with the same theme in different instances, it's not unusual then to see the same link sent by the same person in both, not a crosspost, the same link sent separately. ¿Is there any, let's say, correct protocol on how to interact with this? You know, do I vote for both? One positive and the other I ignore? What if I want to comment? Do I make the same comment on both?

Personally I usually interact with whichever one already has more engagement.

Same here. I get slightly frustrated by seeing the same post on multiple instances, but I understand why people do it.

When I want to interact with a post, I start with the one that has more responses, and maybe never even get to the others.
