Hi there!

Would it be possible to display cross posts on different instances as a single post?

I just found an article on four of my subscriptions and I wanted to read all the comments so I had find them one by one.

Also it seems to be a problem with lemmy in general, that conversations and likes gets very segmented this way. Would be nice if there would be a way to aggregate.

In the piefed web interface, comments of crossposts are added to the post. This has its advantages, but can be potentially confusing, e.g. since a cross-poster can edit the original content, commenters may talk about stuff that's not in the post you're looking at. I like the way summit handles it as an alternative, since the "cross-posted X times" button is easily visible.
