MODERATORS
One feature I feel like I want to see eventually is a list of links to reposts attached at the top of the post, so if someone reposts the same thing, or topic, or question, then if another person recognizes it and finds a previous link, the link could be added to the list and anyone who wants to see the "extended universe" of comments can browse them. That way discussion's larger context is far more easy to see, and quality answers for example can be more easily found by anyone browsing after the link has been found.
I'm not sure if it would be if genuine utility, but people are already doing the work of finding these links to the past, I feel like we might as well make it official and make it a feature?
I'm curious what the rest of you think.
Yeah, I think this is a great idea. An automatic implementation would be easy if it's a repeat of a that was already posted. Somewhat more difficult if it's the same news but from a different source - dunno if that's even technically a repost but it kind of is.
A more loosely defined "related/variation" list of links might get very big, but I don't feel like it absolutely shouldn't be done. I don't know, maybe.
Might be able to add a second set to expand the feature if the repost list is successful and useful.
The link list could have a max size and oldest items could drop off.
I don't love the idea of that kind of automatic deletion
I didn't mean deleting the old posts I meant they would no longer appear on the repost history.
Yeah, I don’t love the idea of that kind of automatic deletion of the links from the list.
