Kbin website implements this.

Oh really? That's interesting.

Well, to be precise, kbin groups posts with the same URL.

I've seen some Lemmy apps/interfaces do that as well. So maybe it's not all that different?

I think what they're suggesting is that a post would have a merged view of all comments from all the different duplicate posts in all the different communities it's posted in.

I see the cross posts all at the top but comments are separate

To combine the comments would probably require a revision to the lemmy protocol, plus an even bigger one to the backend software to keep backwards compatibility
