Comment on When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well?

  Correct. It does not funnel all the conversation into the same post, which is probably most people’s preference.

    Oh weird, I would not have expected to be in the minority there

      For me it’s easy to imagine an article being linked to two communities that are going to have drastically different takes.

      !cars@lemmy.world and !fuckcars@lemmy.world for example.

      Now I can see wanting to have a discussion across both communities, but I can also see /c/cars wanting discuss cars without having every conversation devolve into an argument or admonishment.

      As I was writing this another problem came to mind. You have a pooled discussion across two or more communities with two or more moderation policies. How could that be reconciled?

        I think you’ve convinced me that it’s a slightly more complicated problem than I initially gave it credit for; thank you for that!

        I think you could solve for the disparate community theme problem by also requiring title match for mergers. You could probably also solve for it by having a 2-way merger whitelist on links. E.g community A and B both maintain lists of “similar” communities and then if A’s list contains B and vice-versa they would merge.

        Comment moderation I got nothing though. That’s a tough one.
