When scrolling all it’s common to see the same article posted several times, each from a different community and most with zero comments.
Is there an app that will recognise the post URLs, show that post only once in the scroll but display all the comments, perhaps with each having the community name prepended?
I usually only read the comments so there’s a lot of useless scrolling if skipping zero comment posts.
Alternatively, a filter that only shows posts with comments.
Yes but consolidation defeats the point of federation. I’m hoping one day Lemmy will auto-combine communities based on tags or something.
Only if all the communities consolidate to the same instance. Consolidation to a diverse set of instances strengthens the fediverse.
