This post addresses the "quiet fediverse" problem, where users often experience fragmented conversations on decentralized social networks. The core issue stems from ActivityPub's distributed nature, where conversations are spread across multiple servers, leading to incomplete views of discussions. The author explores two main approaches to solve this: reply tree crawling and the context owner approach. Reply tree crawling, pioneered by Mastodon, involves fetching all replies to reconstruct th...| Hackers' Pub
