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.

This would be my dream. My biggest hangup about the fediverse is the duplicates on different communities and instances

I think even if nothing is intentionally done about it, it will get better. A dominant community will emerge, and other communities will evolve to have their own unique quirks. We're still in a kind of wild phase where every community is trying to find its place.

That said, some kind of multi community organ6would be a very welcome feature.

An example within Reddit.

There are 5 different subs. Freefolk, Oldfreefolk and GameofThrones, asoiaf(A Song of Ice and Fire), pureasoiaf. All on the same subject matter.

Each has an active community serving a different need.

r/GameOfThrones for general discussion

r/freefolk for fans that only want to talk smack about the series

I don't know what the others are for

/r/asoiaf is mostly just for book discussion
