Connect does not collapse cross-posts into the same post in the post feed
Connect does not collapse cross-posts into the same post in the post feed
Recently had some people tell me that connect isn't collapsing cross-posts so when a post is posted to multiple communities at the same time it floods the feed
The behaviour that occurs in lemmy-ui is it checks for posts with the same url in the ones its showing the user and removes any duplicates, only keeping the oldest one (and showing links to the rest in a cross-posted to section)
This helps especially in instances that recommend cross-posting since topics overlay between multiple communities
Should be relatively easy to implement since its just comparing the url values of the posts you already have
Does any app support this?
Havent done a check on all of them yet but figure they should all match the behaviour of the main lemmy frontend and its better behaviour to have then to just let it flood
So far I made this post here and opened up an issue in the jerboa repository since those were the two that were reported
I agree it would be a great QOL feature but I tried pretty much every app (on android) and none supported it. I follow the app communities too but I may have missed an update post.
If it were implemented, how would comment threads work? Would they also be combined?
