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.

I think even is nothing is intentionally done about it, it will get better

Maybe not, considering the dynamic is different. On Lemmy there’s different instances that can have different people talking about the same topic, some will defederate each other so they might not even see that for you there’s a duplicate etc.

Merging it all into a mega thread is an option, but poses the question of which one will you comment to? This has to be explicit or it will cause confusion.

Mtgere are differences yes, but most of the instances that are significant are federated.

If the fediverse does not get too fragmented, I think it won't be too different, but I grant that significant fragmentation could potentially be a problem.
