Being subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances and seeing duplicates - Lemmy

There were also 2 more below that. And this must be a bot, endless posts by this user, every time the same content on multiple communities.

Would be very nice to have after the initial hurdles of app development are wrapped up

    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.

      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.
