It’s a viable model, but it’s not the Lemmy model, because that’s a clone of the reddit model. I don’t know if that’s implemented anywhere though.
Comment on The problem of cross-community posting

What I think would be interesting would be to have communities be tags rather than exclusive categories. So if you make a post, you can add more than one tags to it, provided you are a ‘member’ of that tag.
Tags would have moderators much like communities have moderators now, to preserve the meaning of the tag. So you could have a tag like ‘billionaire media’, and members could slap that tag on all nyt, wapo, etc articles. Moderators would boot members who misapplied the tag.
Then what would be interesting would be to use the tags for searches, like ‘news’ minus ‘billiionaire media’.

Nah, because if if there’s a post that’s of interest to more than one community, and I’m only in one of those, then I probably don’t want to see comments from those other communities, because they will be related to topics/aspects that I’m not here for (otherwise I’d also be subscribed to those communities).

From a discoverability standpoint it would be beneficial to see other communities' conversations on the same post.

You can already do that in Lemmy and piefed - crossposts are listed at the top

maybe could filter the comments based on tag as well.
