[email protected] said in Backfilling Conversations: Two Major Approaches:
A number of implementors follow this approach to backfill, including NodeBB, Discourse, WordPress, Frequency, Mitra, and Streams. Additional implementors like Lemmy and Piefed have expressed interest.
Is this implemented currently? One weakness I have noticed in NodeBB's current federation is that posts which are in reply to a topic (e.g. a Lemmy comment) show up as individual threads until (or if) the root post of that topic shows up in the local NodeBB. It's a bit confusing of a UX, I think. Because you think:
(Before root post) Why is this a post that seems to be just a random comment?
(After root post) Why did that other thread disappear and why am I seeing the same comment again?
