#mastodon Is it normal that I click on a post, it opens in the rightmost column, but no replies show up. If I click on the date and open the post on its home site, there are replies (or more replies). So, is this a problem with my installation or with mastodon in general, or is this on purpose somehow? For example, https://anticapitalist.party/user/ghost/updates/49226 Maybe this is the bug https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/905

@sandro I never had that problem, however are the replies also from a Mastodon instance?
I know GS and Mastodon still have some issues keeping a conversation_id in place to allow the servers to determine how to display a conversation.

@stitchxd @sandro Mastodon, like the Qvitter pA plugin, uses the in_reply_to field, not conversation_id. So threads break all over the place.

@sungo @sandro Qvitter might not use conversation_id, but the backend (GS) still processes a convo_id when needed doesn't it?

@stitchxd @sandro Yes, the database possesses that field and the classic UI uses it. I'm pretty sure Mastodon's database has the field too. I think it's unlikely that Mastodon throws away protocol data elements like that.

@sungo @sandro I wouldn't really know for sure, I just know that this was a topic of conversation a few months back.
