If it is possible to detect which posts are cross posts, it should be possible to create a client app that combines the threads. Maybe give you an option to chose which one to post your comment.

I don't think it should be a client feature. It should be federated, like the posts are.

I think the issue with federation of comments is moderation of comments.

You might not like the admins of example.org:foo but you might have no issues with the admins of example.com:foo.

I was just thinking about a possible solution based on what we have. I agree it would be better if cross post comments were federated, but I guess there's different opinions on that (do the lemmy devs agree for example?).
