Great. I would like to be able to do that.

Danke Merkel!

I need a sabbatical. Canada maybe or New Zealand. A retreat to a monastery also sounds nice. I will rebuild an old farm house. Something along these lines. :)

It doesn’t have to be the truth, or does it?

I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.

The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.

Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.

Allow multiple groups per post (use them like tags). This would have some interesting implications regarding moderation and the handling of replies to the said post.

Having multiple identical posts in different groups with distributed replies doesn’t feel ideal to me.

So many orphaned comments and no post. Strange.

Roach whisperer, I’m pretty sure it isn’t a useless super power. It mustn’t be.

I wouldn’t even know if I’m allergic to wasp or bee stings.

Wasps don’t attack me. Occasionally they do fly around me. Sometimes one steals a tiny piece of my cake or so. But after a short time they all leave, doing their wasp business elsewhere.

But never do they sting me. Maybe they are not provoked by me. Or maybe I’m a wasp whisperer. :)

I don’t know about bullets, but laser beams seem to work: https://www.sci.news/physics/laser-guided-lightning-11572.html

And now let’s look at our time units… leap years, leap second. A month has 28, 29, 30 or 31 days. A day has 2*12 hours. An hour has 60 minutes or 3600 seconds (Babylonian mathematics :) )

I see room for improvement.
