Would it be better or worse if cross-posts joined their comments from their different communities?
Cross-posting has struck me as a little strange and I think maybe this is a part of it.
Doesn’t it benefit larger communities more than smaller ones by keeping the activity in a larger one, since they can comment there rather than go to the smaller community? 🤔
I would be okay with it being opt-in on third-party clients as long as it was clearly apparent which comments were from a discussion on another community and perhaps going as far as not allowing interaction, or at least voting, without navigating to the comment on its native community.
Maybe something client side, where same named communities get merged into one as a view.
But lemmy to me, who browses /all/new, has a terrible problem with “spam” - valid posts in some cases but one person posting the same thing to 20 communities and overwhelming the feed
