Duplicates as two top stories with divided comments. Something's broken at HN.

Same 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.

I think the mods try to do that manually, it's just a matter of if/when they're around

Exactly - 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.
