Comments from multiple posts on the same page

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.

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.
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.

But the comments are still separated out by community in the example post. You can still see the discussion in [email protected] as a stand alone, isolated discussion, but if you scroll further you also get the [email protected]. I assume if you reply to a comment, you’re then replying in that community, but I didn’t test that.

I was excited about this feature, but maybe it is not such a great idea.

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.
Good news - https://join.piefed.social/docs/piefed-mobile/

Lemmy shows links to all the posts about the same link (I think) so it doesn't feel like an improvement over that

It's a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from [email protected] here
Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?

Yes, somewhat. But viewing a post usually doesn't happen in isolation - before coming to this page the viewer will have just seen a teaser of the post, containing the community icon and name OR have been browsing that community. It's not as bad in context.
