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.
I love this idea but how do you decide to which community a new comment gets posted?
With the feature request I posted on GitHub, it would work similarly to reposting/reblogging on Mastodon.
Except inside Lemmy anyone who can post in the community would (most likely) create a post linking to an existing post and it would appear that the post mentioned just got posted into that community
Moderators would ideally see who created that crosspost and have the ability to block that person from crossposting (or posting entirely) to that community w/o affecting the third-party post
If someone wouldn't want their posts crossposted they can just block the community's actor (account)
