One of the things I’m noticing with the Yarn.social <-> Activity Pub (Mastodon, GotoSocial, Micro.blog and others) is that when activities are received for Notes (the only activity besides Follow we really support); There is no context in the post. From my point of view, I see folks tagging someone in response to something I can’t see.

We had this problem a while back with Yarn.social pods and we solve it by building a basic peering mechanisms where pods would peer with one another and ask for the root twt to fill in missing context (basically so you don’t have to follow the world to see what the reply was in context of).

Do we (Yarn.social) have to do the same here for inbound Activity Pub Create+Note activities? Look at the inReplyTo and fetch that too? 🤔 #Yarn.social #ActivityPub #Mastodon
