What do you notice about the comments on this post? https://piefed.social/post/555259
The post was made in the [email protected] community and other posts linking to the same news article were made in [email protected] and in [email protected]. 3 different posts in 3 different communities.
PieFed de-duplicates them and only shows the post once in the timeline and when viewing the post all the comments on those 3 posts are shown in one place.
The fragmentation problem is solved.
That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page at least. Hopefully lemmy can implement something similair.
I would reduce the distinctiveness of the threads, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on the topic same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.
