I don’t understand how Lemmy intends to do it when the different instances are federated, if several instances create the same community for example…is that possible?

    I thought about it, because I think that’s the way twitter does it. But IMO for reddit-style it shouldn’t, there are some reddit threads that have dozens of nested comments, where the original parent commenters aren’t even a part of it anymore. I’d personally want mentions to be explicit if they aren’t in a direct response.

      Totally agree but could it be better to have this setting as an option? In small communities, it could be useful, in large ones could be not. Let’s have a choice.
