Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.

Even if it just shows the post with most activity once, links to other communities versions inside with comments. Uniqueness determined by url and or title similarity.
Essentially this - just (as much as anything is ‘just’ in software dev) have any posts pointing to the same link from any community in a collapsible list under the top instance, perhaps prioritizing ones that the user is subscribed to for convenience. Users could then expand the list to see where it is being discussed if desired.
I have said it before, I’d like a universal comment section for the link itself (or maybe topic or timeline specific, mod-linked as well) and a separate one for each article (ideally something longer than a paragraph) that can be easily switched.
Even better if the feed showed the URL and grouped the articles based site-wide stats and user-specific preferences.
The only problem is that sometimes the same link will be posted to different communities for both positive and negative reasons.
Reddit used to have the “other discussions” tab for that sort of thing.
But that’s what I’m saying about (Kbin) articles. As in I expect each community to add their thoughts/perspective (or even a break-down) in the form of an article (and then people in said community comment on that). Multiple people maybe, if takes are different enough.
Also I’m saying it should be a faster switch than “other discussions” (which requires going to a separate page first).
