It would be nice if communities that are similar enough could "share" a comment thread, so you don't end up with comments scattered over many different communities for the same link. The mods could toggle something in the settings and say "This other community is good and we'll be OK sharing posts with them". You also wouldn't have to explicitly crosspost.

Neat, thanks!

It might be helpful to be able to set default per community for something like this. For example, !dailygames@lemmy.zip, it would be a jumbled mess to have it be all in one thread

I want something like that too, although it's worth noting that the implementation corner-case details could be horrendous.
