I would use that. Please go for it! It's so obvious to me. There's a giant discoverability gap in the whole fediverse thing that can be easily addressed. This is by design in mastodon, but I don't think these reddit alternatives are so against virality. The only risk is that the whole thing fizzles out so hard that even an aggregated view of the entire ecosystem doesn't produce enough content to keep people engaged.
If you do it, please keep in mind merging submissions and their comments, 6 separate entries for the same thing each with a couple of comments is a much worse experience than a single entry with a dozen comments. You can start by simply using the URL as a grouping key and try more sophisticated things later.
