February Update on ActivityPub Development

@[email protected] Yes, that's a common problem with the fediverse, inherent because of its design as a decentralized network of nodes talking to one another.

An instance/node will only know of replies to posts and topics that it is informed of, so while anyone can talk to anyone (in theory), each node may not see the entirety of responses to any given topic.

I have some ideas to address that, but it is not something that can be easily surmounted without some sort of centralized authority (which goes against the decentralization ethos that makes up much of the fediverse )

@julian @Totally with Ю :questified: Also because there's the difference between conversation-oriented projects (Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), the Threadiverse, nodeBB) and Twitter-like micro-blogging projects that don't have a concept of conversations.

The former are built around being able to follow conversations, the latter lack that feature completely.
