    I feel like cross-posts should share comment threads…

    Now comment threads are split across 6 communities.

            I’ve seen some Lemmy apps/interfaces do that as well. So maybe it’s not all that different?

            I think what they’re suggesting is that a post would have a merged view of all comments from all the different duplicate posts in all the different communities it’s posted in.

      If it is possible to detect which posts are cross posts, it should be possible to create a client app that combines the threads. Maybe give you an option to chose which one to post your comment.

        I don’t think it should be a client feature. It should be federated, like the posts are.

          I think the issue with federation of comments is moderation of comments.

          You might not like the admins of example.org:foo but you might have no issues with the admins of example.com:foo.
