What do you notice about the comments on this post? https://piefed.social/post/555259
The post was made in the news@lemmy.world community and other posts linking to the same news article were made in technology@lemmy.world and in askusa@discuss.online. 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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Firstly: Thank you for your work! <3
It’s pretty hard to tell where the split is when you’re in a big comment section.
So i updated the fxomt theme to make it easier to tell the split: https://pub.microbin.eu/upload/eel-lion-turtle Difference:
I think the default theme definitely needs to have that solved, though.
even just some margin-top would help
That is excellent! I had suggested something similar for lemmy frontend devs to implement, but I love to see it natively on piefed.
That’s why i recommand our instance moving to Piefed, it provides a better experience each update.
It is not ready yet for daily users. it will be difficult as there is no mobile app, but there is so much improvement…
So fell free to give your feedback to PieFed. :)
There will be soon :)
I only see one title and one post body; what happens if 3 people share the same link but with 3 different titles and description bodies?
Do they get merged, does one get arbitrarily selected, or does this only work on posts with identical link+title+body?
That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page at least. Hopefully lemmy can implement something similair.
I would reduce the distinctiveness of the threads, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on the topic same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.
A couple of issues with little to no distinction:
-
Community rules. If 4 communities were in the same thread at once this would be harder for moderators to moderate, and for users to follow the rules/report. Since they can’t tell easily from which thread this comment comes from
-
Threads are not always crossposted with the same context. Example:
These threads are posted in different communities, their comment sections would be very different
-
Very cool, thanks!
It’s a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from News@lemmy.world here
Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?
the comments from the other communities actually stand out more than the comments of the current community, due to the headers, without the header the comments just kinda blend in
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.
I was excited about this feature, but maybe it is not such a great idea.
