Comments from multiple posts on the same page
-
They are matched by the url of where the post links to. So this only works for posts that have a url, not discussion or image posts.
Ok so exactly how mbin spots cross posts at the moment. But combining the comment sections is a cool idea. Obviously requires your server to be subscribed to the different communities, but still cool

Yes we had a lot of inspiration from Mbin for this one.

what happens when there's 2 different posts in the same community with the same URL, example:
https://programming.dev/post/8880813
https://programming.dev/post/1721399
(I can't find a more recent example right now)

So that's why cross-post won't available everywhere ? Only certain use case ?

That is excellent! I had suggested something similar for lemmy frontend devs to implement, but I love to see it natively on piefed.
That's why i recommand our instance moving to Piefed, it provides a better experience each update.
It is not ready yet for daily users. it will be difficult as there is no mobile app, but there is so much improvement...
So fell free to give your feedback to PieFed.

Those comments get merged into one tree. I think, didn't actually test that.

Yes, url is the only reliable way I could think of to match posts.
For image posts we could use a hash of the image data. But image cross-posts are not common so it doesn't seem urgent.

Okay, thank a lot i understand better. Perfect.
We use crosspost for english meme however a multi-meme community will solve it. If we regroup them in a topic, we won't need crosspost.
I wanted to use it for Peertube. The only problem i see is that [comment on a crosspost] won't post comment on the peertube video.
And if we comment their video, that would solve peertube problem : they have no comments on their video.

What do you notice about the comments on this post? https://piefed.social/post/555259
The post was made in the [email protected] community and other posts linking to the same news article were made in [email protected] and in [email protected]. 3 different posts in 3 different communities.
PieFed de-duplicates them and only shows the post once in the timeline and when viewing the post all the comments on those 3 posts are shown in one place.
The fragmentation problem is solved.
Really cool work.

You could add linking to the same post, eg crossposting, to the criteria.
The urge to switch my server to piefed grows bigger every day.

I only see one title and one post body; what happens if 3 people share the same link but with 3 different titles and description bodies?
Do they get merged, does one get arbitrarily selected? Or does this only work on posts with identical link+title+body?

This is or at least was a problem with cross-posts in the same community in Lemmy as well. I think now Lemmy just prevents posts with the same URL to be counted as crossposts when they are in the same community.

Piefed keeps leading the charge eh? With every new feature added I wish even more that there was a mobile app for it. Well, that or Lemmy devs taking some inspiration and implementing something similar, I guess.

I'll keep an eye on it, thanks! I was looking at Thunder the other day actually since Sync is probably going to stop working eventually. Sadly I found it a little buggy and lacking some features, but I'll follow its development for sure.

[email protected] is getting a lot of updates at the moment, you might be interested!

I'm following it as well! Still waiting on some features for it to be my daily driver, but I love how responsive and active the dev seems to be.

Hmm I guess some people might like this but I'd be a bit afraid of mixing different communities just because the same link is posted in them. Different communities might have different rules and different expectations for participation and such. This kind of mixes the different communities together.
Like imagine someone posts a link to an article to [email protected] (Feddit.dk news community), which is already posted in [email protected]. If I understand correctly, I'd then see comments from both communities on the same page? But the comments on Feddit.dk will be in Danish and will probably largely be about how the news story affects Denmark, while the comments on lemmy.world will be in English and from a more international perspective. But muddling these things together takes away the "identity" of the community and suddenly you'll be seeing stuff you maybe won't want to see (i.e. danish comments for instance if you are not danish).
I think there at least should be a user preference to disable this, and an option for moderators to opt out of this, to avoid the above situation.
