The chat toggle pretty much acts like this. However the issue is that there are also multiple posts, and what you are describing is a 4Chan style imageboard, but instead there is only one thread on the board. Kinda weird when you think of it becoming like a YouTube live chat, where the witty spammers and trolls are kings.

that's not what i had in mind. we can have multiple threads within a group chat

If your suggestion is on the lines of a 4Chan thread style imageboard, then we already have the chat toggle when we use web browser for Lemmy. Not a bad idea, it does give Lemmy a different character altogether, and it can create opportunities for both reddit and 4Chan style users.
