how exactly? isn’t piefed "just" another instance in the fediverse?

    You have comments from different communities under the same URL post. "Multicommunities" but without user intervention.

    It does have some drawbacks. For example, under this post, I can see comments from an earlier post (referring to the same URL) from over a year ago.

    Piefed is also a platform, in addition to Piefed servers being instances and clients.

    Got any links or docs where I can read up on that?

    I would just try a piefed.social account.

    The support docs don't really look comprehensive.

    done that already. :) but it looks like this only works for url-posts, which Mlem already handled pretty good before.

    Mlem is an iOS client.

    Crosspost comments consolidation has to happen in the default UI for everyone to be able to use it

    Solution 2 in the post, multicommunities. I'm not sure it actually solves the problem though, as you still have to go to the actual community to post and I imagine multicomms add an extra layer of confusion to that.

    You can post from the multi community/feed, you are then asked which community you want to post to

    Clicking though to community to post and selecting a community from the create post page are same problem rearranged. A user who subbed to ~technology@piefed.social isn't going to know the difference between !technology@lemmy.world, !technology@lemmy.zip and !technology@piefed.social.

    To be honest that's a problem that can't be solved by tooling, it's a human issue.

    I know why there is

    If people don't want to consolidate similar communities and just keep them existing next to each other then users have to figure out the differences (sometimes there are almost none) between two communities.

    I can’t follow this link while logged in to my account from feddit.org—is that what you’re saying? Piefed allows it, others not (yet, from what I've read and understood).

    Are you using an app for Lemmy?

    The link I sent should work on any browser

    I used Mlem in this case. I can open the link just fine on the Web UI. What exactly am I looking at there? Sorry for asking stupid questions. I really like Lemmy and the whole idea of the Fediverse so far, I'm just trying to understand more of it.

    You can see the comments of both the post on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

    When you scroll down at some point it switches to the other post

    got it now. thanks for explaining. So this works for all crossposts, same url posts, and i can combine different communities together myself? not sure about the las part.

    Yes, that's correct. The combining different communities is done via "feeds", you can create your own or subscribe to preexisting ones
