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