I don't follow Lemmy closely, but I believe they one day aspire to have a feature to combine similar links together to follow the discussion easier. Piefed does have this feature already and it's great.

My app does this automatically. Connect, for anyone curious. Dev is active, have had them fix a few things and they were quick to do so once I reached out.

I'm actually super appreciative of this and would have missed it otherwise. Including subscribing and donating.
