Can Lemmy treat a crosspost like a boost? (merge threads?) (feddit.uk)

As far as I know this isn't a feature that exists, but I know the protocol should make it fairly easy.

What I'm thinking is for Lemmy to basically have the option to inherit the comment thread when posting a URL to another fediverse service.

E.g. If crossposting a Lemmy thread, you get a tickbox saying "inherit comment section" or something and it makes the new thread effectively a symlink to the original.

This could also be used to bootstrap other fediverse services like pixelfed and peertube by enabling people to comment directly from their Lemmy instance.

Would be cool but i think it would be quite hard to implement
