Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Does blorp support showing crossposts the way that PieFed handles it? (Displaying comments from each community on the post).
Blorp dev here. It doesn’t. I totally understand that many Lemmy communities can feel too quiet, but I never fully understood the consolidating comments thing. I believe Lemmy and PieFed both associate posts based on url, not post body, title, etc. Only the url has to match.
Now imagine you had a conservative community and a liberal community, and they both shared the same news article. However, one community was expressing support for the article while the other was expressing disapproval. Then in the comments, people were saying “I agree with this take”. How would you know if they were agreeing with the conservative or liberal community’s perspective of the article?
Piefed has the name of the community as a separator before the comments :

If communities could mutually express they want a combined view or could be useful, and you could mark comments with which community they're in (but each whole reply chain would need to be in the same community)
Multi communities are coming to Lemmy V1 and already exist in PieFed as feeds. But I don’t think communities opt into those.
