I don't really know how to navigate GitHub to see more detail, but how would this improve the cross-posting function that already exists?
I've used it a handful of times and it seems pretty straightforward.
It would be nice if I could share one post across multiple communities and then have all the comments in just one place. As it is now everyone has to decide for themselves where to comment.
If this solves seeing the same person posting the same article multiple times and each showing on the feed, then that's a great idea.
Thats already handled by lemmy ui currently. The same link posts will collapse into the same one
Just isn't supported by some frontends since its a frontend specific feature (mostly the apps)
Comments merging isn't supported though but the post mirrors can be toggled between relatively easily
