the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments
For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.

No? It was said it shouldn’t be done in the backend, a frontend or an alternative client can still do PieFed style comment listing.
