In-reply-to » @movq Is there a good way to get jenny to do a one-off fetch of a feed, for when you want to fill in missing parts of a thread? I just added @slashdot to my private follow file just because @prologic keeps responding to the feed :-P and I want to know what he's commenting on even though I don't want to see every new slashdot twt.

@prologic@twtxt.net @falsifian@www.falsifian.org This just popped up in my head: How about adding a “fetch context” feature? Point jenny to some mail file that contains a twt (or pipe it to stdin) and it will try to auto-discover and fetch all related things. Like, if it sees something like @<falsifian https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt>, then it will look in https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt for a twt with hash tkjafka. Maybe even do this recursively until there are no new references anymore. This process could include explicitly querying some user-configurable Yarn pods as well. 🤔

It won’t always work. There’s no guarantee that tkjafka will be present in the given URL.

Hmm. 🤔
