Current discussion about post deduplication, should posts be hidden inside a community? (github.com)

It's a great feature while browsing All/Subscribed/Local, but some people (including me) seem to think this can be confusing/annoying while browsing a specific community directly.

Any thoughts on this?

I agree that crossposts (be it the same community or not) should be visible from All / Local / Subscribed feeds.

It is currently not the case (only one post is showed, I never understood which one was selected) the other post is completely invisible, this hides conversation which might happen in two places at the same time

Ideally there would be an indication about the crossposts in the feeds themselves (rather than at the post level like currently) to avoid this

I think you could list the instances/communities its been posted to in order of: ones you're subbed to, ones in your instance, and finally the rest. All in alphabetical order. Obviously would want some options to change aspects to fit people's preferences/needs.

That would be nice

I really like the feature for All/Local/Subscribed, but maybe it's a temporary solution until we get some better method to group communities and post to a group of communities instead of posting to communities individually
