Three posts, across the fediverse, point to exactly the same link, with the same post text.

I would just love it if wefwef could collapse these into one (“Seen in 3 communities”) and then collapse the comments into one mega-thread.

    This would be my dream. My biggest hangup about the fediverse is the duplicates on different communities and instances

      I think even if nothing is intentionally done about it, it will get better. A dominant community will emerge, and other communities will evolve to have their own unique quirks. We’re still in a kind of wild phase where every community is trying to find its place.

      That said, some kind of multi community organ6would be a very welcome feature.

    Probably it is a bit hard to do because I don’t think it is a frontend issue.

    Did you notice that the number of upvotes is different among the “same post”?

    The other instances create a copy of the original and update after some time, probably. They aren’t the “same post”.

    They could be collapsed as of today, maybe, but would only show your home instance’s version, I think.
