For example, I’m on Lemmy.ml and I’ve joined [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. In this example, it’s not very different from the number of similar groups on Flickr but, in comparison to Reddit, it seems like the decentralized platform can be a little unruly.

How are you going about joining different communities and managing your engagement? Are you only participating on the community on your instance? Are you joining and posting in as many instances that seem relevant?

    From a user front-end standpoint, just collate all posts with identical links and then make a tabbed system for comments. Lemmy.ml comments are on this tab, kbin.social comments are on this tab, etc etc. Seems like by far the easiest way to present it without (accidentally or otherwise) force-federating all of the source material. This could even pretty easily be done within the app if not done in the lemmy/kbin source code directly.

      Huh, never thought about it this way but it makes sense. Ultimately the URL will be identical across the different posts, and I believe a Post object has a URL field.
