Agreed the cross posting is much more visible and irritating. Not sure it will ever be resolved as it is a fundamental architecture design of the Fediverse. I would hate to see another closed source site be the main alternative but Squabbles is growing fast and with the new app looking so good it may accelerate its growth. Time will tell.
I don't think the architecture has anything to do with it. The algorithms just need improving.
Even if it just shows the post with most activity once, links to other communities versions inside with comments. Uniqueness determined by url and or title similarity.
Essentially this - just (as much as anything is 'just' in software dev) have any posts pointing to the same link from any community in a collapsible list under the top instance, perhaps prioritizing ones that the user is subscribed to for convenience. Users could then expand the list to see where it is being discussed if desired.
