Showing related threads that use the same link or have a similar title or words in the body of the post would prevent a lot of duplicate threads while also making it more convenient for users searching for a solutiom to a problem that is already available in a previous lemmy thread.
The lemmy web ui already does this when typing a title (although due to a bug it doesnt do so for the link or when the suggested title from the link is used)
This goes along with displaying the cross-posts of any post, which the default web UI does, even automatically if there are other posts that contain the same link … all for creating an interconnected and organised ecosystem of communities on lemmy. Rather valuable I’d say.
Thanks, I totally agree—just added this to the roadmap for Lemmynade
