I believe Piefed has this with the fairly recent Feeds feature. They also just added a new feature where multiple posts linking to the same URL gets automatically merged.
Intriguing. How does it decide which post wins?
Technically, they're not merged and are still independent posts. But as you scroll your timeline only one post will be shown (whichever is Hottest, or Newest, or recently Active, whatever your current sort is) and the rest hidden.
Then when you view a post you see that post with it's comments below and comments on it's siblings (cross-posts) shown below that. There is a icon which pops up a menu to go to the sibling posts if you like.
Gotcha, that makes sense! At least it still shows all crossposts when you open it, which sort of makes any further details about how it works irrelevant.
Don't know. Maybe chronologically? It's very neat I must admit, though I'm a little too attached to my native phone apps to make the leap to Piefed yet. But it's definitely the Threadiverse software making the most innovations at the moment.
Sorry, "Threadiverse?" I think this is my first- or second-ever time reading that term...
Threadiverse is a portmanteau of Threaded Fediverse, basically the Reddit-like softwares using the ActivityPub protocol. Lemmy, Piefed and Mbin are the current major alternatives.
Ooh, thanks! So Fediverse is the larger, overall hub that includes Pixelfed, Mastodon, Friendica, etc.
Indeed! But since it's all ActivityPub there is actually (limited) interoperability even with those platforms. Mastodon users can post to Lemmy communities for example.
