I don't really know how to navigate GitHub to see more detail, but how would this improve the cross-posting function that already exists?
I've used it a handful of times and it seems pretty straightforward.
It would be nice if I could share one post across multiple communities and then have all the comments in just one place. As it is now everyone has to decide for themselves where to comment.
Oh I see! That would be awesome.
It would also allow for Lemmy users to crosspost posts from other Fediverse services, such as Mastodon
Eg you see a post on Mastodon that would fit great in a startrek community, you would be able to cross post that Mastodon post into that community
This would enable individual posts to gain traction and comments without having comments/replies being spread across multiple places
Edit: it would work very similarly to reposting/reblogging on mastodon
That would be helpful. I have a Mastodon account that I'm pretty much just using to post my OC trek memes (plus some of my favorites from Risa), and being able to crosspost both ways would be nice.
