    Hear me out.

    A post has to be visually aggregated among several communities.

    The current visual representation of a post that was posted in several communities looks like spam.

    It would be nice for a post to have a field, that represents the community IDs of where the post was posted, and these communities should be visible as a list inside the post along with the stats (votes, comments, whether the post was removed from a community).

    Navigating through items in this list of post-clones should bring the user to the same post in these communities.

    A user would see the post in the feed if they are following at least one community the post was posted on.

    The sorting could count the highest or freshest stats, depending on the sorting method the user chose in their feed.

    A post should be possible to post in another community just by editing the “post in these communities” field while editing the post.

    A re-post by another user should be possible and should just add the newly posted community to the field along with the already posted communities. One community should not be allowed for a post twice.

    Lemmy clients should offer users to edit this field in their newly created post instead of copying the post multiple times.

    This way the spam would look like spam and a post can have 20000 communities it was posted on and this won’t clutter the user feed.

    Thank you.
