Recent
contextcollection news, in case you've missed:- Mastodon: PR open
- Lemmy: PR merged -
@silverpill Thanks, I totally missed this development. I blame the conference I was at.
@jesseplusplus Can I ask here, what's the ultimate scope of what you're upstreaming? I see https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/35959 is a building block, will you be pushing for Mastodon to publish context collections later? It's not clear from what I'm seeing here if that's part of the plan.
-
silverpill@mitra.social oh you better believe I was aware of it
It is a significant step toward broad adoption of context collections in order to enable backfill.
-
julian@fietkau.social the work by jesseplusplus@mastodon.social is split into two PRs.
The first allows Mastodon to start serving context collections. This is the critical piece that allows others to backfill conversations.
The latter half to be introduced in another PR will allow Mastodon to consume context collections for backfill purposes.
-
thanks @julian@community.nodebb.org! and sorry @julian@fietkau.social, my wording of the PR title is a little confusing. I'm using the existing mastodon Conversation model to publish the context property. That PR will publish the collection as part of the AP json-ld for all notes.
I'll follow that up with a PR that will allow mastodon to backfill missing replies from the context on any Create-Notes that come to the inbox with a context collection.
-
@jesseplusplus @julian@community.nodebb.org I've taken a closer look at the actual commits, and yeah, there's more already in there than I had first understood. Thanks for elaborating and best wishes for the process!
-
@julian@fietkau.social thank you!
-
@julian hi! following up on this, were there any minutes from the meeting?
-
trwnh@mastodon.social there were! Yes, I'll get them up over the weekend hopefully.
The main news was updating everybody on context collection adoption (which I've posted about on ActivityPub.Space), plus TallTed brought up how this was handled in the nntp space
