This doesn't really make sense in the Lemmy model inherited from reddit. A post belongs to a specific community, you can't put one post in multiple communities. You can crosspost, and from there you can jump to the original and see its comments, but the comments on a crosspost belong to the second community.
Maybe a crosspost should not have a second comments section, and opening it should always send you to the original post, but I don't think that's desirable. For example, if I'm banned from the first community, should I be forbidden from commenting on the post when it's crossposted to my second community?
