I believe Piefed has this with the fairly recent Feeds feature. They also just added a new feature where multiple posts linking to the same URL gets automatically merged.
Intriguing. How does it decide which post wins?
Technically, they're not merged and are still independent posts. But as you scroll your timeline only one post will be shown (whichever is Hottest, or Newest, or recently Active, whatever your current sort is) and the rest hidden.
Then when you view a post you see that post with it's comments below and comments on it's siblings (cross-posts) shown below that. There is a icon which pops up a menu to go to the sibling posts if you like.
Gotcha, that makes sense! At least it still shows all crossposts when you open it, which sort of makes any further details about how it works irrelevant.
