Sometimes when viewing a federated, or local, post with 50+ comments I am interested in seeing comments from my instance (if there are any) first.

So there could be a toggle for that next to the comments sort options.

You join a community (instance) for a reason, and so it makes sense that you might value their comments a tad bit more by default.

And I suppose someone could use this toggle to only read top comments from their own instance. Maybe it's a political post and you don't wanna read any .world or sjw comments.

The line that shows the links to other crossposts should add a (#comments), if there is any, after each link.

Some links get crossposted to multiple communities but I don't know if any of these posts have any comments and it's tedious to check them out one by one, and in my experience most of them don't have any comments which discourages me from checking them out.

Also crosspost links could be in order of comments.

Another idea: instead of (#comments) it could be a different color or some other indicator.
