When scrolling all it’s common to see the same article posted several times, each from a different community and most with zero comments.
Is there an app that will recognise the post URLs, show that post only once in the scroll but display all the comments, perhaps with each having the community name prepended?
I usually only read the comments so there’s a lot of useless scrolling if skipping zero comment posts.
Alternatively, a filter that only shows posts with comments.
Would be cool.
I think there’s a lot of stuff you can do if you think a bit differently about Lemmy when you create an app.
There’s no real reason why you should treat each instance as separate entities.
On the other hand, I agree that two similar communities should be merged
It shouldnt be too hard to implement something that directs reports to the correct mod/instance despite showing up in a mixed feed.
[email protected] and [email protected] are quite different communities, not sure those to audiences would like to be mixed up in the comments section
I didnt say it was a good idea, just that its technically feasable. Tho i also think that forcing people to intermingle with people outside of their echochambers is not the worst idea.
