The fediverse isn't going to work if top pages consist of the same link 10x reposted. (kbin.social)

Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.

I had the same idea and wanted to write a little userscript to achieve this. Sadly Kbin doesn't make it easy to do this, since the actual link is not exposed on the threads page and only accessible after you clicked the link. That makes it super hard to "group by link". I mean you could "fetch" every link for every post but that would put so much unnecessary traffic to the site so that I would rather not do that.
