I guess what I’m essentially asking here is wether you mind seeing the same post several times in your feed? I’ve done it in the past, but also tend to feel that duplicate posts are a bit annoying.

    I think you’ve convinced me that it’s a slightly more complicated problem than I initially gave it credit for; thank you for that!

    I think you could solve for the disparate community theme problem by also requiring title match for mergers. You could probably also solve for it by having a 2-way merger whitelist on links. E.g community A and B both maintain lists of “similar” communities and then if A’s list contains B and vice-versa they would merge.

    Comment moderation I got nothing though. That’s a tough one.
