For example, the instances you linked, GD and Florida, someone has a bit news of general appeal but maybe also of interest to a specific group. A big enough news story like something about climate or economic impact but also of interest to a narrow group such as a geographic or issue group, could make use of this. This function (based in GD) could automatically add a second thread to group like First Americans or Automobile Enthusiasts and add a link to each to the cross-post, identical in content but in a second place on the site.

Sorry, I don't see a way to merge those 2 with all the replies in one place.

You should suggest that the admins.
