↳ 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.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Yeah this is a good idea. Opening up the little tiny API that yarnd has for “peering” between pods for this reason. It’s quite simple really and its actually open publicly, so you can just use the scripts I wrote.

One thing to bare in mind is that Twtxt (the original spec) is largely dead, this included the registry. The registry in practise was never really widely used, and suffers from “centralization” – Which registry do you use? Its for this reason we built a search engine/crawler to help with searching and discovery. Anyway I digress… LMK if you want to go down this path, happy to document it beyond the scripts I wrote.
