what do y'all think of this idea for managing identical posts in identically named communities? (lemmy.ml)

I'd like to see the ability to regroup communities (at the user level, not visible to everyone) where the posts with an identical URL are regrouped as a single post. Would be useful to scan the news at least, without having a ton of duplicates.

there's a bug filed so @[email protected] or @[email protected] can work on the crossposting feature

How it's that handled when each thread has differing comments, though?

I feel like for me, I just pick one of those duplicates and unsubscribe from the others

Not sure what would be the best way to handle it.

When you press on the combined post, list the link to each crossposts on the fediverse and let the user choose which one they want to read the comments from.
Combine the comment threads and post the reply in the related crosspost of the top comment.
