Could you share a bit more about what you mean by ‘context collection’? Thanks!

Resuming Work and Engaging with UsersNice to hear from you. We’ll be happy to do that, I’ll write you a direct message at the same time.
Overhead! You’re hitting the nail right on the head. That was my main motivation back in time, providing alternatives without any overhead.

Reply Collections have not yet really reached the centre of the #Fediverse. Among other things, moderation aspects play a role here (see FEP-7458 or FEP-5624). But in principle, they offer a wonderful opportunity to maintain consistency in discussion threads in the Fediverse.
Smaller instances in particular often lack reactions to content published in the Fediverse. In principle, this is not a bad thing. Nevertheless, it makes sense for both servers and clients to be able to retrieve a complete comment tree in some scenarios (possibly at the request of a user).
To this end, we have submitted a first draft in a pull request to the Upstream #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress. In this case, we benefit from the already existing comment management of the WordPress core and only list approved comments in the replies collection.

We promised to keep you updated every two months, though this post comes a bit delayed (see reasons). Thankfully NLnet extended our time period. Now that at least one person can dedicate a regular 30 hours a week to the project, we are confident things will develop more quickly from now on.
We are currently having our first exchanges with venues and organizations that will likely use WordPress ActivityPub for their event publishing. From these initial interviews, we are gathering insights to ensure we are on the right track. We’ve chosen several institutions based in Graz, where most of us live, because face-to-face conversations are invaluable and sometimes the only way to make sure we’re communicating our true intentions – we’re not trying to sell anything, we have a vision. A detailed report on those results will follow.
However, anyone else with a WordPress site who wants to explore publishing events to the Fediverse and help shape future features (such as attendee management, participant notifications, etc.) is welcome to contact us. We’d love to hear from you!
