If you think about the OF creators literally posting the same image in 100 different subs, you’ll see that there’s a practical limit to the number of tabs that will display.
Instead, I’m thinking that a text link-list of all the subs (with instances shown) it’s been posted to is easier to manage. Then whichever one you click brings you to the localized comments page for that thread.
If you do it that way, then you can have a user configuration setting as to whether the link list is shown fully on each thread listing or whether there’s a “+” button to expand it out.
Ah sheet, that’s a good point. I was thinking, surely the most constrained factors is number of communities. Nope, 'cause the OF creator posts to 100 communities, and their fans seem very likely to subscribe to a lot of those communities lmao.
@ShadowRunner What are you imagining would be the title that we see on /all or whatever feed?
Default Condensed/Expanded is a good user setting, we should definitely keep that lol.

Ah, that’s an excellent point.
The irony is that the worst cases of shared links are from OF creators - but they bot-blast those links, so they all have the exact same title. That makes it easy - if every duplicate link has the same title, then just use that.
But for cases where they have different titles, you would either have to choose a generic system-generated title or alternatively, use the title of the instance that has the greatest engagement.
All of these questions, however, can be designed to be user-selectable in each of our own settings. That way, a person can decide whether or not they even want to stack duplicates, and if so, how is the title chosen.
