    I think it would be pretty easy to sort in your 1+2+3 case. Let users natively ban instances.

    Say you hate instance 3. If you go into the 1+2+3 thread, you will only be able to see or interact with 1+2 comments, as all others wont even load for you.

    The tricky part is if 3 users can see or interact with your comments. It might be the case that you literally just wont see anything downthread if one of them replies to you.

      That would work well :)

      I think it would also be helpful to have a way to see only one instance.

      Say for example, some regional variants of communities group up (ex. The Canadian community for X + the general community for X)

      Sometimes you might want to see all the content, and sometimes it might be helpful to just see the local content. A toggle or custom view would be nice to have
