It would be awesome if wefwef did this

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.
You're viewing a single thread.
The normal Lemmy web-ui already does this.
I’ve never seen that happen. Have an example?
When you cross-post something this happens. But in the background the Lemmy web-ui is just comparing the URL and if it is exactly the same it treats them as a cross-post.
There is quite a chance for this to backfire isn't there? For example if user 1 posts an article with the title "This is bad oh no what do you think" and user 2 with "This is what happened [...]", there shouldn't really be a merge just cause it's an identical link imo
It lists all the different versions / communities below the post, so I don't really think this is much of an issue.
Oh I see!
It does?! That’s so cool, at least it’s possible then.
