Duplicates as two top stories with divided comments. Something's broken at HN.
- ColinWright 11y agoSame story, different items, not really duplicates. However ... Yes, I've been saying for years that HN needs a meta-story feature where a single topic can be an umbrella for multiple submissions - there are so many of them. But there isn't.
- austenallred 11y agoI think the mods try to do that manually, it's just a matter of if/when they're around
- ColinWright 11y agoExactly - it's occasionally done by hand. I think the mods do a fantastic job, but this is one place where HN could be seriously improved. There are, on occasion, just so many duplicates, there is a real need (in my mind) for a proper method to clump/cluster them. The submissions about Finland's 800 Euro basic income is another example - there are 12 or more submissions of that story, with more than one discussion. There are more.
